Auto-Negotiation advertisements use Custom Auto-Negotiation Advertisement (CANA) to control the speed and duplex settings that the interface modules advertise during Auto-Negotiation sessions between Ethernet devices. Modules can only establish links using these advertised settings, rather than at the highest common supported operating mode and data rate.
Use CANA to provide smooth migration from 10 Mbps to 10000 Mbps on host and server connections. Using Auto-Negotiation only, the switch always uses the fastest possible data rates. In limited-uplink-bandwidth scenarios, CANA provides control over negotiated access speeds, and improves control over traffic load patterns.
Use the auto-negotiation-advertisements command to configure CANA.
To use CANA, you must enable Auto-Negotiation.
Important
If a port belongs to a MultiLink Trunking (MLT) group and you configure CANA on the port (that is, you configure an advertisement other than the default), you must apply the same configuration to all other ports of the MLT group if they support CANA.
The following platforms support full duplex and half duplex modes for CANA:
