OmniSwitch AOS Release 6 Network Configuration Guide
September 2009
Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, and 10 Gigabit Ethernet switching modules can be used as backbone links, 
with Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet modules offering additional support for high-speed servers. 
All modules support 802.1Q hardware tagging for enhanced compatibility. And all Gigabit and 10 Gigabit 
modules support jumbo frame configuration.
See the OmniSwitch 9000 Hardware Users Guide for more information about the OmniSwitch 9000 hard-
ware that is available in the current release.
10/100/1000 Crossover Supported
By default, automatic crossover between MDI/MDIX (Media Dependent Interface/Media Dependent Inter-
face with Crossover) media is supported on all the OmniSwitch ports. Therefore, either straight-through or 
crossover cable can be used between two ports as long as autonegotiation is configured on both sides of 
the link. See 
 for more information.
Autonegotiation Guidelines
Please note a link will not be established on any copper Ethernet port if any one of the following is true:
• The local port advertises 100 Mbps full duplex and the remote link partner is forced to 100 Mbps full 
duplex.
• The local port advertises 100 Mbps full duplex and the remote link partner is forced to 100 Mbps half 
duplex.
• The local port advertises 10 Mbps full duplex and the remote link partner is forced to 10 Mbps full 
duplex.
• The local port advertises 10 Mbps full duplex and the remote link partner is forced to 10 half duplex.
This is due to the fact that when the local device is set to auto negotiating 10/100 full duplex it senses the 
remote device is not auto negotiating. Therefore it resolves to Parallel Detect with Highest Common 
Denominator (HCD), which is “10/100 Half” according to IEEE 802.3 Clause 28.2.3.1.
However, since the local device is set to auto negotiating at 10/100 full duplex it cannot form a 10/100 
Mbps half duplex link in any of the above mentioned cases. One solution is to configure the local device to 
autonegotiation, 10/100 Mbps, with auto or half duplex.
