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.
