Configuring Interface Connections

You can use the Port Configuration or Trunk Configuration page to enable/disable an
interface, set auto-negotiation and the interface capabilities to advertise, or manually
fix the speed, duplex mode, and flow control.

Command Usage
• Auto-negotiation must be disabled before you can configure or force the interface

to use the Speed/Duplex Mode or Flow Control options.

• When using auto-negotiation, the optimal settings will be negotiated between the

link partners based on their advertised capabilities. To set the speed, duplex mode,
or flow control under auto-negotiation, the required operation modes must be
specified in the capabilities list for an interface.

• The 1000BASE-T standard does not support forced mode. Auto-negotiation

should always be used to establish a connection over any 1000BASE-T port or
