The Ixsystems MiniX+ comes with Two 10 GbE network ports. When plugged into a 2.5g switch, wouldn’t the connection “fall back” to 2.5g? Right now, it’s only seeing 1000Mb/s twisted pair.
Do I have to add a pcie 2.5 card to get that speed. The rest of my LAN has 2.5 hardware.
According to the specs on this site of this reseller, they are 1/10GBaseT, so not 2.5!

10GBase-T Hardware is not necessarily capable of 2.5/5GBase-T, as the latter two are a much newer specification.
On C3000 systems, specifically, I believe this needs explicit support from the MAC IC, which is not a given. I do think the SoC is capable of at least 2.5 Gb/s.
