NOTE: If you use an active optical cable (AOC), you can convert the QSFP+ port to a 10 Gigabit SFP+ port or 1
Gigabit SFP port. You can use the speed command to enable the required speed.
6. Optionally, set full- or half-duplex.
INTERFACE mode
duplex {half | full}
7. Disable auto-negotiation on the port.
INTERFACE mode
no negotiation auto
If the speed was set to 1000, do not disable auto-negotiation.
8. Verify configuration changes.
INTERFACE mode
show config
NOTE: The show interfaces status command displays link status, but not administrative status. For both link and
administrative status, use the show ip interface command.

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.
Example of the negotiation auto Command
DellEMC(conf)# int tengigabitethernet 1/1/1
DellEMC(conf-if-te-1/1/1)#neg auto
DellEMC(conf-if-te-1/1/1-autoneg)# ?
