I have this same question. IEEE standard for 802.3bz (aka NbaseT), does not state it's mandatory for auto-only. It just says that auto-negotiate must be supported. In other words, basically every vendor supports auto AND manual set link speed.
The obvious reason for this is "real-world" situations: If the cable you have is barely able to make connection at 5G but with lots of errors which means packet loss, then it's far better to slow it down with manual settings to 2.5G for error-free and no-packet-loss operation.
When will this feature be available?
