Setting the Ethernet link rate
Ethernet autonegotiation is often unreliable, especially between different
vendors or old and new networking equipment. Failure of autonegotiation is
generally not a cause for concern. However, if the negotiated rates change
intermittently or the link is reported as no link or down, the link rate may need
to be set manually. An interface that "flutters" because of the autonegotiation
setting, may cause intermittent voice and data outages.
