Autonegotiation Modes
Port connection problems can occur when a port is connected to a station that is
not operating in a compatible mode (for example, connecting a full-duplex port to
a half-duplex port). The BayStack 410-24T switch negotiates port speeds
according to the IEEE 802.3u autonegotiating standard. The switch adjusts
(autonegotiates) the port speed and duplex mode to match the best service
provided by the connected station, up to 100 Mb/s in full-duplex mode with an
optional 100BASE-T MDA installed.

If the connected station uses a form of autonegotiation that is not compatible
with the IEEE 802.3u autonegotiating standard, the BayStack 410-24T switch
cannot negotiate a compatible mode for correct operation.

In both situations, the BayStack 410-24T switch “autosenses” the speed of the
connected station and, by default, reverts to half-duplex mode. If the connected
station is operating in full-duplex mode, it cannot communicate with the switch.

To correct this mode mismatch problem:
1.
Use the Port Configuration screen to disable autonegotiation for the
suspect port (see

If the problem persists:
1.
Disable the autonegotiation feature at the connected station.
2.
Manually set the speed/duplex mode of the connected station to the same
