Join the thousands who have not read
http://www.ieee802.org/3/interp/interp-2-0705.pdf which says 1000BASE-T
MUST be autonegotiated.
Quoting in part:
... selecting 1000BASE-T mode of operation still requires that
Auto-Negotiation be used. This can be accomplished by continuing to use
Auto-Negotiation while limiting the advertising to 1000BASE-T capabilities.
The last bit means you can force 1000 by having one or both ends
advertise 1000 only.
Now if only I could convince the people at work who specify all ports be
configured 1000/Full to read that.
