Remote End Advertised Ability

Auto-negotiation is an Ethernet feature that facilitates the selection of port speed, duplex, and flow control between the two members of a link. It first shares these capabilities, and then selects the fastest transmission mode that both ends of the link can support.

Current ExtremeXOS show port commands show the local end of the link‘s advertised ability for duplex and flow control, but there was no show command to find the remote end of the link‘s advertised ability. This feature provides a new command that shows the remote end of the link's advertised ability.
