The default speed setting of Auto-Negotiation is not appropriate for

switch ports, disable Auto-Negotiation and set the port’s speed
manually to match the speeds of the network devices.

This setting is appropriate for ports connected to network devices

The default duplex mode setting of Auto-Negotiation is not
appropriate for ports connected to network devices that do not
support Auto-Negotiation and have a fixed duplex mode. Disable
Auto-Negotiation on those ports and set their duplex modes
manually to avoid the possibility of duplex mode mismatches. A
switch port using Auto-Negotiation defaults to half-duplex if it
detects that the end node is not using Auto-Negotiation. This can
result in a mismatch if the end node is operating at a fixed duplex
mode of full-duplex.
