Understanding Auto Negotiation

Auto Negotiation refers to a feature in networking devices that allows them to automatically choose the highest performing common configuration for a network connection. This process enables devices to establish parameters such as data transfer speed, mode of operation (half-duplex or full-duplex), and duplex mode without manual intervention, thus ensuring efficient and seamless communication between devices on a network.
