About auto-negotiation
The default setting for the ETEP enables auto-negotiation, which negotiates the link speed, duplex setting,
and flow control. Use the autoneg command if the device that the ETEP connects to from a particular
port does not support auto-negotiation or flow control.
It is important to configure the ETEP and the other device the same way. Both devices should either auto-
negotiate or be set manually to the same speed and duplex mode. Having one device set manually and the
other auto-negotiate can cause problems that make the link perform slowly. When manually setting the
ETEP link speed, configure the speed and duplex mode to match that of the other device.
On the management port, the ETEPs can negotiate to the following link speeds:
To configure the management port:
1 At the command prompt, type
