Selecting Auto (auto-negotiation) allows one port to negotiate
with a peer port automatically to obtain the connection speed
and duplex mode that both ends support. When
auto-negotiation is turned on, a port on the switch negotiates
with the peer automatically to determine the connection
speed and duplex mode. If the peer port does not support
auto-negotiation or turns off this feature, the switch
determines the connection speed by detecting the signal on
the cable and using half duplex mode. When the switch’s
auto-negotiation is turned off, a port uses the pre-configured
speed and duplex mode when making a connection, thus
requiring you to make sure that the settings of the peer port
are the same in order to connect.
