Operational Mode
These selections indicate the current operational
mode of this port. If you select Auto-Negotiation,
you can select as many modes as needed from the
Advertised Ability selections. You can only select
one Operational Mode: either Auto-Negotiation or
one of the specific modes. Table 17 lists the
current operational modes, their values, and their
descriptions.
Advertised Ability
These selections indicate the advertised ability of
the local hardware. They become active on ports
that have Auto-Negotiation enabled. Auto-
Negotiation allows the FE-100TX RJ-45 port to
self-configure to 10 or 100 Mbps depending on
the speed of the attached device. The interfaces
can also dynamically configure themselves for full
duplex or half duplex (standard mode) operation
when both ends of the link support Auto-
Negotiation. When only one link partner supports
Auto-Negotiation, the mode defaults to half
duplex.
Both local and remote management for the
SmartSwitch Module provide the ability to disable
Auto-Negotiation if desired. A port that does not
support Auto-Negotiation will be read as “other”
(1).
