As a managed switch with 10Gbe uplink ports it is rather surprising that this switch has not been added to Insight - especially when the GS110TPV3 is supported in Insight and costs half as much as th...
Any chance you can cut the snark out a bit? it’s not that I don’t want to understand but that how you described it was not entirely clear.
as I now understand it form your last, rather patronising, reply and doing some follow up reading on the ieee standards, the standard mandates auto-negotiation and discourages manually setting speeds but does not actually forbid it to achieve ieee certified status. There are some vendors who do implement manual override functionality (my Mikrotik router for instance) but it’s discretionary.
Clearly Netgear has chosen not to on this device which is unfortunate in my particular scenario. Rate limiting would have been an option, but unlike my MS510 that can limit to any percentage of the port speed, the GS110 can only rate limit below 1GB (before you say how that’s also a bad approach, Netgear support suggested it to me as a possible workaround)
as for the “fix your cables” comment, that is a sweeping assumption that it is always physically and/or economically possible. In my particular situation it isn’t without significant construction work.
