Reinitializing Auto-Negotiation

If you believe that a port set to Auto-Negotiation is not using the highest
possible common speed and duplex-mode between itself and a network
device, you can instruction it to repeat Auto-Negotiation. This is
accomplished with the RENEGOTIATE command in the Port Interface
mode. The command does not have any parameters. A port must already
be set to Auto-Negotiation before you can use this command.

This example prompts ports 4 and 8 to use Auto-Negotiation to renegotiate
their settings with the ports on their network counterparts:

awplus> enable
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# interface port1.0.4,port1.0.8
awplus(config-if)# renegotiate

For reference information, refer to “RENEGOTIATE” on page 230.
