best the auto negotiation?

[André Marcelo Dias]

I have switch of 100 duplex ful, plate of net 100 duplex full.

Which is best the auto negotiation or without auto negotiation?

[James R. Ferguson]

Hi:

Most prefer *not* to auto-negotiate. Set your switch and your LAN to 100MB full duplex.

Regards!

For 100 BaseT NIcs, the standard recommendation is to force both the NIC and the port on the switch it is connect to to 100 MB/s Full Duplex No Autonegotiate.

1000 BaseT Must have auto negotiate.

I'm getting away with Auto Negotiate at home on a Dell Switch with a GSC 100 BaseT card.

If the switch is Cisco, hard code the speed on the switch and in the configuration file. Go manual.

Hello!

The best is to set the speed for the network
(switch & NICs) so set to 100 FD

You will be far better served to hard set both ends of the connection. There was and is an ambiguity in the standards for auto-negotiation; at certain cable lengths (35-41m) the negotiation can fail and leave one end at full duplex while the other is at half-duplex.

Hi!

I use the following as standard:

100 Full-Duplex NoNegotiation

Unix seems to talk best at 100 MB FD autoneg OFF, talk to your network guys, and be sure they have got the same conf,

Hope it helps,
