In certain situations, it is useful to be able to auto-negotiate a specific speed and
duplex value. In these situations, the switch can allow for attachment at an
operating mode other than its highest supported value.
For example, if the switch only advertises a 100 Mbps full-duplex capability on a
specific link, then the link only goes active if the neighboring device is also
capable of auto-negotiating a 100 Mbps full-duplex capability. This prevents
mismatched speed/duplex modes if customers disable auto-negotiation on the
neighboring device.
CANA is available through the Command Line Interface (CLI). The CLI provides
the following commands for CANA:
• show auto-negotiation-advertisements [port
<portlist>]
• no auto-negotiation-advertisements [port <portlist>]
To show hardware advertisement capabilities (userExec mode):
• show auto-negotiation-capabilities [port <portlist>]
To configure advertisements (interface configuration mode):
• auto-negotiation-advertisements [port <portlist>]
[10-full] [10-half] [100-full] [100-half]
[1000-full] [1000-half] [asymm-pause-frame] [none]
[pause-frame]
• default auto-negotiation-advertisements [port
<portlist>]
When custom autonegotiation advertisements is in use on a port, autonegotiation
is displayed as “custom” in the console and web-based management interfaces.
Note: This feature is available only for built-in 10/100 ethernet ports.
