Advertised Ability

This ﬁeld indicates the advertised ability of the local hardware for ports that

have auto-negotiation enabled. Auto-Negotiation allows the FE-100TX RJ45

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 SMARTMIM-216 provide the

ability to disable auto-negotiation if desired. A port that does not support

auto-negotiation will be read as “other (1)”.

Table 5-2 shows the Advertised Ability modes, their values, and descriptions.
