Enables or disables auto-negotiation on the specified port. Auto-negotiation uses a link negotiation protocol to determine the highest connection parameters available to connected ports, and configures the port speed and duplex setting of both ports. This command applies to Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet ports.
If negotiation is disabled, the user can set the speed and duplex of the Fast Ethernet ports.
