Configuring an Auto-negotiation Transmission Rate

Usually, the transmission rate on an Ethernet port is determined through negotiation with the peer end,
which can be any rate within the capacity range. With auto-negotiation rate configured, you can enable
the Ethernet port to negotiate only part of the transmission rates within its capacity.

and Server 3) is 1000 Mbps, and the transmission rate of GigabitEthernet 1/0/4, which provides access
to the external network for the server group, is 1000 Mbps too. If you do not specify an
auto-negotiation range, the transmission rate on GigabitEthernet 1/0/1, GigabitEthernet 1/0/2 and
GigabitEthernet 1/0/3 through negotiation with the servers is 1000 Mbps, which may cause congestion
on the egress port GigabitEthernet 1/0/4. To solve the problem, you can specify the auto-negotiation
transmission rate on GigabitEthernet 1/0/1, GigabitEthernet 1/0/2, and GigabitEthernet 1/0/3 to 100
Mbps.
