Abstract
A network connection method with an auto-negotiation mechanism is applied to a first network apparatus, where the first network apparatus supports a plurality of connection modes, and the method includes: transmitting a plurality of indication signals to a second network apparatus to prepare to establish a link between the first network apparatus and the second network apparatus, where the plurality of indication signals correspond to the plurality of connection modes respectively; counting a number of times that the first network apparatus enters a transmit disable state to generate a counting value; and when the counting value reaches a threshold value, disabling a specific connection mode of the plurality of connection modes supported by the first network apparatus.
