Negotiation mode processing method and intelligent network device

The invention relates to the technical field of communication and discloses a negotiation mode processing method and an intelligent network device in order to improve the application flexibility of the intelligent network device. The negotiation mode processing method comprises a step that the intelligent network device determines that a PHY in the intelligent network device receives an auto-negotiation configuration code stream transmitted from a connected network device, and switches the negotiation mode of another PHY in the intelligent network device from a non-auto-negotiation mode to an auto-negotiation mode, wherein the auto-negotiation configuration code stream is used for indicating that a device transmitting the auto-negotiation configuration code stream uses the auto-negotiation mode. Thus, the method may improve the application flexibility of the intelligent network device and further improve the communication quality of the intelligent network device.
