Setting the Ethernet link rate

Ethernet autonegotiation is often unreliable, especially between different

vendors or old and new networking equipment. Failure of autonegotiation is

generally not a cause for concern. However, if the negotiated rates change

intermittently or the link is reported as no link or down, the link rate may need

to be set manually. An interface that "flutters" because of the autonegotiation

setting, may cause intermittent voice and data outages.
