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

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.
