If an interface on a switch is set to auto-detect, and the status shows 10Gbps, can I trust that it's actually operating at that speed?
Let's say I connect a 10Gbps SFP+ interface from 2 switches with a 60 meter long cat6 cable. Do the interfaces just advertise "Hey, I can handle 10Gbps" and both agree to use 10Gbps, showing that in the interface status? Or can they actually measure/detect that, even though they're capable of 10Gbps, they're actually only getting 1Gbps reliably so the status shows 1Gbps?
