the device and its link partner. Attempting to link-up with autonegotiation disabled
requires knowledge of the current capabilities at which both the device and its link
partner are configured.

The structure of the

boot net

command line that includes device parameters is as

follows:

Where:

s =

1000, 100, 10, auto

d =

half, full, auto

c =

master, slave, auto

Note –

Refer to the IEEE 802.3 (G)MII register specification for the details on

autonegotiated and non-autonegotiated modes of operation. (This establishes the
link successfully so that traffic is transfered without collisions caused by duplex
mismatch between the local and remote devices both the local and remote link
capabilities must be matched.)

TABLE 3-1

depicts the device link parameters you can specify on the boot net

command line to establish a link between the local and remote device.

TABLE 3-2

shows the speed, duplex and

link-clock

capabilities at which a link-up will be

attempted:
