M4250 A&H DX port profile

Netgear recently added a port profile for A&H GigaAce which is great. But I'm wondering how best to connect DX signals. They require the ports being limited to 100mbps which the GigaAce profile won't be. Could this be a request for a new port profile?

    Dont think so. The profiles define different QoS aspects. And a Fast Ethernet device won't do anything different, regardless if connecting to a GbE, MultiGig. 10GbE port. port operating on higher data rates (2.5 G and up) are mandatory using link speed negotiation anyways.

      The guidance from A&H stipulates that the connection has to be set by the switch to be 100mpbs as their testing showed that it wasn't reliable when left to auto negotiate. I assume these switches have the ability to do that, but that's obviously not a setting available in the AV interface.
