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