Table C-8 Read-Only Link Partner Capabilities

Parameter 

Values 

Description 

lp_autoneg_cap

= No auto-negotiation  

= Auto-negotiation 

lp_100fdx_cap

= No100Mbit/sec full-duplex transmission 

= 100Mbit/sec full-duplex 

lp_100hdx_cap

= No 100Mbit/sec half-duplex transmission 

= 100Mbit/sec half-duplex 

lp_10fdx_cap

= No 10Mbit/sec full-duplex transmission 

= 10Mbit/sec full-duplex 

lp_10hdx_cap

= No 10Mbit/sec half-duplex transmission 

= 10Mbit/sec half-duplex 

If the link partner is not capable of auto-negotiation (when lp_autoneg_cap is 0) the information described in Table C-8 is not relevant and the parameter value = 0.

If the link partner is capable of auto-negotiation (when lp_autoneg_cap is 1) then the speed and mode information is displayed when you use auto-negotiation and get the link partner capabilities.
