9700 port standards

Hello

I need some information that I couldn't find in the documentation.

Do the built-in RJ45 ports on the CheckPoint 9700 PLUS, described in the documentation as "1GbE copper", support 100Mbps auto-negotiation?

Does the CPAC-TR-1T-D module work based on the 10/100/1000BASE-T or 1000BASE-T standard and working only with 1Gbps speed ?

Will the CPAC-8-1/10F-D add-on card, which is described in the documentation as supporting 1/10G, equipped with the 1Gbps CPAC-TR-1T-D module be able to operate at 100Mbps under backward compatibility?

Thanks

The onboard ports are Intel I350 MACs (PCI ID 8086:1521 (rev 01)) with standard 1000BASE-T PHYs. They do 10/100/1000.

The CPAC-8-1/10F-D is eight Intel E810-C MACs (PCI ID 8086:1593 (rev 02)). The MACs only report they can do 1000 or 10000. Intel's datasheet for the part says they can also do 100, depending on PHY. I don't have any CPAC-TR-1T-D transceivers, so I don't know if they support 100.

Maybe best verify with your local SE and/or TAC.
