Guidelines
The force-mode command indicates whether to force Ethernet physical mode
instead of autonegotiation behavior.
- By default, autonegotiation is used.
- When enabled, the physical mode is forced. No autonegotiation is done at the Ethernet driver level. Enable this option only when IBM® Support diagnoses that you are encountering a problem.
The command is not relevant when mode is Auto.
