I have SCALE installed on a server with dual on-board 10 gbps interfaces that use the Intel x550-T2 chipset, and I have one of these interfaces connected to a cable modem that supports maximum 2.5 gbps speed and then passed as a virtual adapter to an OPNsense VM.
The problem is that the interface will not connect at 2.5 gpbs and instead negotiates down to 1 gbps even though the x550-T2 chipset is supposed to support multigig speeds including 2.5 gbps.
I ssh'd into the SCALE server and ran ethtool on the interface, and it listed 2.5 gbps as a supported but not an advertised link mode. I've included the output below.
Does anyone know how to force a supported link mode of speed 2.5 gbps to show as advertised so that I can connect at that speed? I'd rather do this in the SCALE UI because I don't like making command line modifications that could break or cause problems when updating SCALE.
In case it's relevant, the motherboard is ASRock Rack x570d4u-2L2T, and the CPU is Ryzen 7 pro 5750g.
Here is the ethtool output:
