Reporting the Link Partner Capabilities
TABLE B-8
describes the read-only link partner capabilities.
If the link partner is not capable of auto-negotiation (when
lp_autoneg_cap
is 0)
the information described in
TABLE B-8
is not relevant and the parameter value = 0.
If the link partner is capable of auto-negotiation (when
lp_autoneg_cap
is 1) then
the speed and mode information is displayed when you use auto-negotiation and
get the link partner capabilities.
