Startup Menu Functions
After completing all external connections, connect a terminal to the device to
monitor the boot and other procedures. The order of installation and configura-
tion procedures is illustrated in the following figure. For the initial configuration,
the standard device configuration is performed. Other functions can be per-
formed, but doing so suspends the installation process and causes a system
reboot.
Performing other functions is described later in this section.
General Configuration Information
Your device has predefined features and setup configuration.
Auto-Negotiation
Auto-negotiation allows a device to advertise modes of operation and share
information with another device that shares a point-to-point link segment. This
automatically configures both devices to take maximum advantage of their abili-
ties.
Auto-negotiation is performed completely within the physical layers during link
initiation, without any additional overhead to either the MAC or higher protocol
layers. Auto-negotiation allows the ports to do the following:
•
Advertise their abilities
•
Acknowledge receipt and understanding of the common modes of opera-
tion that both devices share
•
Reject the use of operational modes that are not shared by both devices
•
Configure each port for the highest-level operational mode that both ports
can support
