ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a repeater and associated method for performing auto-negotiation between two node devices in the Ethernet network. The repeater includes a receiver receiving related information of auto-negotiation of a first node device, a control unit processing the received information and determining a common mode of operation for the first node device and the repeater, and a transmitter transmitting a determining result to a second node device. The associated method includes selecting a first common mode of operation according to respective modes supported by the first node device and the repeater; comparing the first common mode with modes supported by the second node device; and determining a second common mode of operation according to a comparing result, wherein the second common mode is the highest performance common mode of operation for the first and second node devices.
