Note
The network device connected to the port must be IEEE 802.3u
compliant.
Description
Here are the supported speeds:
- 1Gbps (IEEE802.3ab)
- 2.5Gbps (IEEE 802.3bz)
- 5Gbps (IEEE 802.3bz)
- 10Gbps (IEEE 802.3an)
You can set port speed with Auto-
Negotiation or manually. Guidelines are
given here:
- 1Gbps and 10Gbps can be set either
manually or with Auto-Negotiation.
- 2.5Gbps and 5Gbps must be set with
Auto-Negotiation.
- The default setting is Auto-Negotiation.
