Command Usage
When auto-negotiation is enabled the switch will negotiate the best
settings for a link based on the capabilities command. When
auto-negotiation is disabled, you must manually specify the link
attributes with the speed-duplex and flowcontrol commands.
If autonegotiation is disabled, auto-MDI/MDI-X pin signal
configuration will also be disabled for the RJ-45 ports.
Example
The following example configures port 9 to use autonegotiation.
