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.
Example of the
negotiation auto Command
DellEMC(conf)# int gigabitethernet 1/1
DellEMC(conf-if-gi-1/1)#neg auto
DellEMC(conf-if-gi-1/1-autoneg)# ?
end Exit from configuration mode
exit Exit from autoneg configuration mode
mode Specify autoneg mode
no Negate a command or set its defaults
show Show autoneg configuration information
DellEMC(conf-if-gi-1/1-autoneg)#mode ?
forced-master Force port to master mode
forced-slave Force port to slave mode
DellEMC(conf-if-gi-1/1-autoneg)#
For details about the speed, , and negotiation auto commands, refer to the Interfaces chapter of the Dell EMC Networking OS
Command Reference Guide.
NOTE:
While using 10GBASE-T, auto-negotiation is enabled on the external PHY by default, and auto-negotiation should
be enabled on the peer for the link to come up.
Adjusting the Keepalive Timer
To change the time interval between keepalive messages on the interfaces, use the keepalive command. The interface sends keepalive
messages to itself to test network connectivity on the interface.
To change the default time interval between keepalive messages, use the following command.
• Change the default interval between keepalive messages.

keepalive [seconds]
• View the new setting.
