Configuring Autonegotiation

By default, autonegotiation is enabled all Gigabit Ethernet interface. You can enable or disable autonegotiation for a specified Gigabit Ethernet interface. When autonegotiation is enabled, the port automatically detects the speed or pause method, and duplex of incoming signals based on the link partner. You can also detect link up conditions using the autonegotiation feature.

To configure autonegotiation using Fabric Manager, follow these steps:

  1. Expand Switches > Interfaces > Gigabit Ethernet.
  2. In the General tab, you can enable or disable the Auto Negotiate option for a specific switch.
  3. Click Apply Changes.
