5.3.1.5.3 Auto Negotiation
The port may be configured to automatically determine the optimal operating parameters
for link speed and duplex. Alternatively, it may be disabled to enable configuration of fixed
operating parameters.
Note, the Auto Negotiating algorithm works optimally with a link partner that also supports
auto negotiation. For operation where one end of a link uses fixed configuration and does
not negotiate, it must be noted that only Speed, 10 or 100M, can be determined, the auto
negotiating node will fall back to use half duplex. 1000M operation requires auto
negotiation to be used.
