Auto negotiate
This is the default setting. This selection is to configure the speed of
the port that is set automatically by the chassis after it determines the
speed of the end-node connected to the port. Auto-Negotiation is
designed to ensure that the port on the chassis and the end-node are
operating at the same speed and that they are communicating at the
highest possible common speed of the devices.
Half
This selection is to configure that the port can send or receive data, but
not both at the same time. Use this setting if you know that the device
connected to the port supports half-duplex mode.
Full
This selection is to configure that the port can both send and receive
data simultaneously. You can select this setting for a port if you know
that the end-node connected to the port supports full-duplex.
