Interface Configuration (Ethernet, Port Channel)
Command Usage
• 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 trunk. If not used, the success of the link process cannot be guaranteed.
• When auto-negotiation is enabled with the negotiation command, the switch
will negotiate the best settings for a link based on the capabilites command.
When auto-negotiation is disabled, you must manually specify the link
attributes with the
speed-duplex and flowcontrol commands.
Example
The following example configures Ethernet port 5 capabilities to 100half, 100full and
flow control.

• Flow control can eliminate frame loss by “blocking” traffic from end stations or
segments connected directly to the switch when its buffers fill. When enabled,
