• 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 auto-negotiation is disabled, auto-MDI/MDI-X pin signal configuration will also be disabled
for the RJ-45 ports.
Example
The following example configures port 10 to use auto-negotiation.
Console(config)#interface ethernet 1/10
Console(config-if)#negotiation
Console(config-if)#
