Reads like your installation is not properly set-up (for pairs/eight strands, correctly wired) for Gigabit and MultiGig. Only 100 Mbit/s negotiated indicates that only two pairs are workable (or the cable isn't made for Ethernet at all, e.g. telephone cabling). And the Multi-Gig ports don't go down to Fast Ethernet.

Just curious - Salt/Switzerland?
- Cables are surely Ethernet.
„And the Multi-Gig ports don't go down to Fast Ethernet.“
Can you specify what this means?
Yes, Salt/Switzerland.Blame me - both the GS110EMX and the RAX120 Multi-Gig port are "5-speed" so Fast Ethernet should be possible.
But still, if the supposed GbE link does negotiate to Fast Ethernet only ... something is potentially wrong with the cable installation. Was this installation intended for Ethernet, is the cable at least CAT5E or CAT6, or is this a former Telephone installation on T72 (the ol'Swiss PTT standard) wires?
