Description This command enables speed and duplex autonegotiation on the CSM Management port in
the running configuration and the Boot Option File (BOF).
When autonegotiation is enabled, the link attempts to automatically negotiate the link speed
and duplex parameters. If autonegotiation is enabled, then the configured duplex and speed
parameters are ignored.
The no form of the command disables the autonegotiate feature on this port.
