=== Interface Speed Duplex (Copper) ifdef::topdoc[:imagesdir: {topdoc}../../test/case/interfaces/speed_duplex_copper] ==== Description Verify that the interface operates at the expected speed/duplex by restricting the set of PMD types auto-negotiation may advertise: 1. Single-mode advertise — host and target both advertise exactly one PMD/duplex combination; the link comes up at that mode. 2. Multi-mode advertise — host advertises a set, target advertises another set; the link comes up at the highest common. 3. Auto-negotiation off — both peers forced to a fixed speed/duplex, the escape hatch for link partners that don't speak auto-negotiation. Disabling autoneg also disables Auto-MDIX, so the ends use opposite MDI/MDI-X pinouts (host mdix on, DUT mdi). The link bounces and can take a few seconds to settle, so the forced steps poll for it. The legacy "auto-negotiation: off + fixed speed + fixed duplex" configuration was retired together with the obsoletion of eth:speed in IEEE Std 802.3.2-2025; the standards-correct way to pin a link to a specific mode is to advertise only that mode.
