◆ The 1000BASE-T and 10GBASE-T standard does not support forced
mode. Auto-negotiation should always be used to establish a
connection over any 1000BASE-T and 10GBASE-T port or trunk.
◆ When auto-negotiation is enabled with the negotiation command, the
switch will negotiate the best settings for a link based on the
capabilities command. When auto-negotiation is disabled, you must
manually specify the link attributes with the speed-duplex and
flowcontrol commands.
