Configuring Gigabit Ethernet Switching
Enabling Port Negotiation on Gigabit Ethernet Ports
Note
You cannot enable port negotiation on 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet ports in this release. If a
1000BASE-T GBIC (Gigabit Interface Converter) is inserted in the port that was previously configured
as negotiation disabled, the negotiation disabled setting is ignored and the port operates in
negotiation-enabled mode.
To enable port negotiation on a 1000BASE-X Gigabit Ethernet port, perform this task in privileged
mode:
