Abstract
A method of operation on an Ethernet network having multiple Ethernet links interconnected via a network device. The method includes detecting installation of a new Ethernet link in the Ethernet network utilizing the network device. A link training process is then initiated for the new Ethernet link. The link training process includes transmitting training data at a first transmit power level and first data rate to a link partner during a data transfer interval. Network feedback information is then accessed, including performance metrics associated with the multiple Ethernet links during the training data transfer interval. The first data rate and/or first transmit power level are then adjusted to an adjusted second data rate and/or second transmit power level based on the network feedback information.
