Usage 
Information
This command is found on the 10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet interfaces.
When you enable auto, the system performs an automatic discovery to determine the optics 
installed and configure the appropriate speed.
When you configure a speed for the 10/100/1000 interface, confirm the negotiation auto 
command setting. Both sides of the link must have auto-negotiation either enabled or disabled. 
For speed settings of 1000 or auto, the software sets the link to auto-negotiation and you 
cannot change that setting.
In FTOS, the command speed 100 is an exact equivalent of speed auto 100 in IOS.
NOTE: Starting with FTOS version 7.8.1.0, when you use a copper SFP2 module with 
catalog number GP-SFP2-1T in the S25P model of the S-Series, you can manually set its 
speed with the speed command. When you set the speed to 10 or 100 Mbps, you can also 
use the duplex command.
