I have a Gigabit card in a compaq server that is set to auto (negotiation
), Its connected to a port that is set to 100M Full Duplex, and yes I
realise that this is not a good idea.
The Gigabit card connects at 100M full duplex.
My understanding of the auto-negotiate process is that if one end has
fixed 100M and full duplex, the auto end will cease the normal auto
process pick up the 100M idle pulses and then switch to half-duplex.
So why does my server card switch to 100M full ?
