Management Registers
SGMII has a similar PCS sublayer managed register block defined in IEEE Std 802.3-2002
Clause 37. This set of 10 management registers, accessed through MDIO, is described in the
1000BASE-X PCS/PMA section (“Management Registers,” page 140). However, the auto-
negotiation Advertisement Register (register 4) and the auto-negotiation Link Partner
Ability BASE Register (register 5) are different in the SGMII specification. Table 4-7 and
Table 4-8 describe these two registers with regard to the SGMII specification.
