In the previous example, several ports display “Auto” in the Speed field. In the following example, the
speed of port 1/1 is set to 100Mb and then its auto-negotiation is disabled.

Dell(conf-if-te-1/1)#speed 100
Dell(conf-if-te-1/1)#duplex full

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
Dell(conf)# int tengigabitethernet 1/1
Dell(conf-if-te-1/1)#neg auto
Dell(conf-if-te-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
Dell(conf-if-te-1/1-autoneg)#mode ?
forced-master Force port to master mode
forced-slave Force port to slave mode
Dell(conf-if-te-1/1-autoneg)#
For details about the speed, duplex, and negotiation auto commands, refer to the Interfaces
chapter of the Dell Networking OS Command Reference Guide.
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.
