Negotiation
Mode
Select the negotiation mode for the port. You can set the mode as Auto, or manually
set the speed and duplex mode for the port. It is recommended to configure both
devices of a link to work in Auto-Negotiation mode or manually configure them to work
in the same speed and duplex mode.
If the two devices at both sides work in Auto mode, they will advertise their speed and
duplex abilities to each other, and negotiate the optimal speed and duplex mode.
If the local device works in Auto mode while the peer device does not, the local device
will automatically detect and match the speed with the peer device. The local device
will work in half-duplex mode, no matter what duplex mode the peer device is in.
