Auto Negotiation Determines whether the CMC automatically sets the
duplex mode and network speed by communicating with
the nearest router or switch (On) or allows you to set the
duplex mode and network speed manually (Off).
Default: On
If Auto Negotiation is On, CMC automatically
communicates with the nearest router or switch.
If Auto Negotiation is Off, you must set the duplex mode
and network speed manually.
Network Speed Set the network speed to 100 Mbps or 10 Mbps to match
your network environment.
NOTE: The Network Speed setting must match your network
configuration for effective network throughput. Setting the
Network Speed lower than the speed of your network
configuration increases bandwidth consumption and slows
network communication. Determine whether your network
supports the above network speeds and set it accordingly. If
your network configuration does not match any of these
values, Dell recommends that you use Auto Negotiation or
refer to your network equipment manufacturer.
