Note that, 100M electrical Ethernet port can operate in full-duplex, half-duplex or
auto-negotiation mode. The Gigabit electrical Ethernet port can operate in full duplex,
half duplex or auto-negotiation mode. When the port operates at 1000Mbps, the duplex
mode can be set to full (full duplex) or auto (auto-negotiation). The optical
100M/Gigabit/10Gigabit Ethernet ports support full duplex mode and can be configured
to operate in full (full duplex) or auto (auto-negotiation) mode.
The port defaults the auto (auto-negotiation) mode.
