Configuring an Auto-negotiation Transmission Rate
Usually, the transmission rate on an Ethernet port is determined through negotiation with the peer end,
which can be any rate within the capacity range. With auto-negotiation rate configured, you can enable
the Ethernet port to negotiate only part of the transmission rates within its capacity.

As shown in

, the network card transmission rate of the server group (Server 1, Server 2, and
Server 3) is 1000 Mbps, and the transmission rate of GigabitEthernet 1/0/4, which provides access to
the external network for the server group, is 1000 Mbps too. If you do not specify an auto-negotiation
range, the transmission rate on GigabitEthernet 1/0/1, GigabitEthernet 1/0/2 and GigabitEthernet 1/0/3
through negotiation with the servers is 1000 Mbps, which may cause congestion on the egress interface
GigabitEthernet 1/0/4. To solve the problem, you can specify the auto-negotiation transmission rate on
GigabitEthernet 1/0/1, GigabitEthernet 1/0/2, and GigabitEthernet 1/0/3 to 100 Mbps.
Follow these steps to configure an auto-negotiation transmission rate:
