Partner’s Ability
Displays the control words advertised by the remote interface during 
negotiation. Duplex is either half or full. Asym- and Sym Pause is the

AutoNegotiation 
Expansion
ParallelDetectionFault is the handshaking scheme in which the link 
partner continuously transmit an “idle” data packet using the Fast 
Ethernet MLT-3 waveform. Equipment that does not support 
auto-negotiation must be configured to exactly match the mode of 
operation as the link partner or else no link can be established.
1000Base-T Control 1000Base-T requires auto-negotiation. The IEEE Ethernet standard 
does not support setting a speed to 1000 Mbps with the speed 
command without auto-negotiation. E-Series line cards support both 
full-duplex and half-duplex 1000BaseT.
