Hey, yes usually you should set 10/100/g to see when the link state
changes, also if the auto protocol is not working or if the cable goes bad
is easier to troubleshoot, have seen this on co-los worldwide.  in any
case, setting 10/100 etc shouldnt affect the bandwidth. so the question
here is: which Nic you are using? is it supported?
do you see any network issue/crc issue, alert/errors, or something onthe
logs? via the web interface check if there are any error on the interface
counters.
also: check with ifconfig 'interface name' for crc errors, and the
advertised speeds, paste here the full output of the problematic interface.


let us know how it goes.
