Autonegotion tool ??
Hi,
Some time when I setup the ethernet port with auto negotiation doesn't work properly, because of the switch configuration. Is there any tool to check switch configuration from the server end?

If it's a linux box, you can use ethtool to check as below.
ethtool {network ineterface}
ethtool eth0
If you need more info, let me know.

Cant you use the switch confuration software that came with the switch to check out how the ports are configured?

I think ethtool is the best and most commonly used tool for querying settings of an ethernet device and changing them. We also use this.
