Agreed!

All switch/FW/routers have the ability/feature in
either CLI or GUI, so I guess that I was just
wondering why it wasn't part of pfS.

I agree on most point you make and there are
"those" out there that have and will continue to
bungle connectivity with setting S/D incorrectly,
but why not make it available (wo/ editing the
XML) for those of us that know how and when to use
it?

Every single Cisco, Juniper, Foundry engineer I
know (or I've taken advanced seminars from) has
stringently recommended the use of static S/D
settings on edge routers and core switching.
Given that I did some asking around and googling
and it seems that Cisco at least has changed their
view in recent years on their S/D philosophy ....

Recommended Port Configuration (Autonegotiation or
Manual Configuration)

There are many opinions on the subject of
autonegotiation. Previously, many engineers
advised customers not to use autonegotiation with
any switch-connected device. However, improvements
in the interoperation of autonegotiation and the
maturity of the technology has recently changed
the view of autonegotiation and its use. In
addition, performance issues due to duplex
mismatches, caused by the manual setting of speed
and duplex on only one link partner, are more
common. Because of these recent issues, the use of
autonegotiation is regarded as a valid practice.

I totally understand that it presents many, many
threads of list chatter when it comes to bite
someone who doesn't understand the ramifications
of the settings, but none the less, I feel it is a
valuable configuration setting for the great
"enterprise ready" product you've all put forth,
and for those among us that use this setup and
know it!!!!

IMHO .. as always!

No, no, no it's *not*. That's the common
misperception.
Autonegotiation is the single most misunderstood
and abused thing in
networking in my experience. What ends up
happening is it's done
inconsistently and creates duplex mismatches all
over the place.
Virtually all network equipment made in this
decade will autonegotiate
without any trouble. Every networking vendor
recommends using
autonegotiate and has for years.

The only scenario where you should force is when
autonegotiate fails
when both ends are set to auto. This will happen
occasionally, but is
the exception to the rule, not the rule.

Autonegotiation got a bad name because it didn't
work well in the
early days (mid 90s), with the "standard" being
implemented in
different incompatible ways by different
vendors. Some of that
sentiment has carried over, which is why you
find some networks where
everything is forced.

It's hidden because it was that way in m0n0wall,
and we keep it that
way because otherwise people will see it there
and think it should be
set, which in reality will just cause serious
problems 99.999% of the
time because people don't understand it and
rarely deploy it properly.
In the rare scenarios where it's needed, the
config can be manually
edited.

where people screw this up>
