Can anyone explain what effect "speed-mode" would have on a mobility controller interface?
(MM) ^[00:0b:86:b7:46:4f] (config-submode)#speed-mode ?
10Gbps Interface speed-mode as '10Gbps'
1Gbps Interface speed-mode as '1Gbps'
40Gbps Interface speed-mode as '40Gbps'
I have a mobility controller connected to the upstream switch using fiber and 10G SFPs, and it appears the line speed is negotiating to the expected speed without any "speed-mode" setting applied.
(MD) [MDC] #show interface gigabitethernet 0/0/5
GE 0/0/5 is up, line protocol is up
Hardware is 10 Gigabit Ethernet, address is 00:0B:86:B7:46:55 (bia 00:0B:86:B7:46:55)

This port is TRUSTED
The ArubaOS 8.6.0.0 CLI Reference Guide states that the 10G and 40G modes are only configurable on specific interfaces, but (to me) that seems to be more platform dependent. Otherwise, not a lot of info in that guide to indicate what effect this has.
Thanks in advance for your advice.
