Note
Switch ports that are connected to 10 or 100 Mbps end nodes that
are not using Auto-Negotiation should not use Auto-Negotiation to
set their speed and duplex mode settings, because duplex mode
mismatches might occur. You should disable Auto-Negotiation and
set the speed and duplex mode settings manually with the
AlliedWare Plus Operating System.
Note
The ports on the AT-SBx81GT40 Line Card and AT-SBx81XLEM/
XT4 Expansion Module only support full-duplex mode.
