Speed negotiation settings for a 10G interface

Question

HI,
We have the following setup:
2 ports of CISCO 6509(also has xfp long range)  switch connected to 2(XAUI) ports of SPARC box T5220.
When the SPARC box goes for a reboot, the link is UP at XAUI while ports are down at CISCO end.
However either of the following brings the link up.
. shut/no shut at 6509 or
. unplug and replug the cable.
No speed negotiation is configured at XAUI.
I would like to know if 10G CISCO 6509  by default has autonegotiation on?
From the document "Configuring and Troubleshooting Ethernet 10/100/1000Mb Half/Full Duplex Auto-Negotiation"
I found the following line
"By default, all devices are supposed to perform autonegotiation. 802.3z       does not specifically define a way to turn Autonegotiation off, for both       1GigabitEthernet and 10GigabitEthernet."
Im seeing the following situation:
"Assume that there are two devices, A and B. Assume that each device can       have Autonegotiation enabled, or disabled. The correct behaviour of link status       with autonegotiation in accordance to the IEEE Std 802.3z-1998 should be like       this:
If A is disabled and B is enabled, then A should report link up and B           should report link down."
Does it apply to 10 G inetrfaces also?
PFB the config output of CISCO 6509

From the above config output can we say that 10Gb/s speed is forced on the link?

Justin,
Thanks very much for the tip!
Do you know if Oracle 10g has any kind of built-in tool for editing data? I have heard of "The Vault", but that appears to be a tool for administering database users, reports, etc. I am looking for some kind of tool that shows the data in a grid layout (like Microsoft Excel) and allows someone to edit and save data in that grid. A web-based tool would be best, but a desktop tool (especially if it's already part of Oracle 10g) would also be good.
Thanks again,
Rachel
