Requirements
These settings must be configured before creating NIC bonds.
If you change these settings, you must ensure that both sides of the NIC cable are configured
in the same manner. For example, if the storage system is set for Auto/Auto, the switch must
be set the same.
If you edit the speed or duplex on a disabled or failed NIC, the new setting will not be applied
until the NIC is enabled or connectivity is restored.
IMPORTANT:
Set up the end-to-end network before creating storage volumes.
Best practice
Change the speed and duplex settings while the storage system is in the Available Systems pool
and not in a management group.
