How to set a port to 1GB on an XS728T
There you go, it's all in the title. Is it possible to set the speed of a port to 1GB on an XS728T, regardless of the speed of the device connected to the switch port? Thank you for your help.

No, because if IEEE mandates Auto-Link-Speed for any copper Ethernet of 1 Gb/s and up. Devices allowing fixing Ethernet link speed to 1000 Mb/s are not IEEE compliant.
