Set Auto-Negotiation Options - Dell Z9000 Configuration Manual

Set Auto-Negotiation Options

The negotiation auto command provides a mode option for configuring an individual port to forced
master/ forced slave once auto-negotiation is enabled.
CAUTION: Ensure that only one end of the node is configured as forced-master and the other is
configured as forced-slave. If both are configured the same (that is, both as forced-master or
both as forced-slave), the show interface command flaps between an auto-neg-error and
forced-master/slave states.

Dell(conf)# int tengigabitethernet 1/1
Dell(conf-if-te-1/1)#neg auto
