All:
Does the autonegotiate setting on an interface actually work on vEdge (16.x or 17.x?)
I'm working with a large US national carrier on a Layer2 issue with their DWDM Transponder/Muxsponder shelf client cards and noticed it actually has no impact when you examine interface in vShell with ethtool(8):
vedge#
vedge#
vedge# conf t
Entering configuration mode terminal
vedge(config)# no vpn 0 interface ge0/0 autonegotiate
vedge(config)# commit no-confirm
Commit complete.
vedge(config)#
vedge#
vedge# vshell
vedge:~$ ethtool ge0_0 | grep -i auto
Cannot get wake-on-lan settings: Operation not permitted
Supports auto-negotiation: No
Advertised auto-negotiation: No
Auto-negotiation: on
vedge:~$ exit
exit
vedge# conf t
Entering configuration mode terminal
vedge(config)# vpn 0 interface ge0/0 autonegotiate
vedge(config-interface-ge0/0)# commit no-confirm
Commit complete.
vedge(config-interface-ge0/0)# do vshell
vedge:~$ ethtool ge0_0 | grep -i auto
Cannot get wake-on-lan settings: Operation not permitted
