The Auto-Negotiation feature enables the device to switch between the various operational modes in an ordered fashion and lets you select a specific operational mode. The Auto-Negotiation feature also provides a parallel detection (called autosensing) function to recognize compatible devices, even if they do not support Auto-Negotiation and helps the device sense the link speed only; not the duplex mode.
You can use the show interfaces gigabitEthernet l1-config command to see the Auto-Negotiation operational state on a port. The operational state uses the configuration and transceiver type present in the port. If you enable Auto-Negotiation for the port but the transceiver type does not support Auto-Negotiation, the operational state is disabled (false).

Important
The software requires the same Auto-Negotiation configuration on link partners to avoid incorrect declaration of link status. Mismatched configuration can cause the links to stay down as well as unpredictable behavior. Ensure the Auto-Negotiation configuration between local ports and their remote link partners match before upgrading software releases.
