When link auto-negotiation is enabled, by default the network device advertises all the supported speed and duplex modes in order to negotiate the fastest link speed with the remote endpoint. It is possible anyway to configure the device to just advertise and accept a subset of supported modes. This could be useful to properly enforce gigabit speeds on Ethernet: as stated in IEEE 802.3 specification, auto-negotiation is mandatory for 1000Base-T and 10GBase-T standards. Allow specific values to 802-3-ethernet.speed and 802-3-ethernet.duplex properties also when 802-3-ethernet.auto-negotiate=yes: this will result in link auto-negotiation advertising the specified speed/duplex mode as the only one available.
