Table 16. Port Configuration Menu for the 10/100Base-TX Port on the Management Cards
Setting Description
Auto negotiate
Manual negotiate
Full
Half
Hundred Base <100Base-TX>
Ten Base <10Base-T>
These selections are used to control the speed and
duplex mode settings of the twisted pair port on the
management cards. The Auto negotiate setting, the
default setting, activates IEEE 802.1u Auto-Negotiation
so that the speed and duplex mode of the port are
established automatically. Auto-Negotiation is designed
to ensure that the ports on the management card and the
network device are operating at the same speed and that
they are communicating at the highest possible common
speed of the devices.
The Manual negotiate setting deactivates Auto-
Negotiation on a port so that you can set the parameters
manually. When you select this option, additional settings
are displayed in the menu.
The Full and Half settings control the duplex mode of the
port, which can be either full-duplex or half-duplex.
The Hundred Base and Ten Base selections set a port’s
speed.to 100 or 10 Mbps, respectively.
Observe the following guideline when configuring this
port:
ˆ If the network device connected to a line card port
does not use Auto-Negotiation and has a fixed
duplex mode of full duplex, disable Auto-Negotiation
on the port and set the speed and duplex mode
manually to avoid a duplex mode mismatch.
