Right but the way it's worded, it *sounds* like use of each Gig-E
is mutually exclusive of a corresponding 100BT port. Doesn't make
a lot of sense, unless they used a chipset that has "we do 100BT too"
feature, once you get past the speed all the rest of it is pretty
much common data-path, common bit/wire-level protocol support.

It's pretty firm about saying "two 10/100/1000 ports".

"Two native Ethernet Each interface has two physical ports, a Gigabit
Ethernet (1000-Mbps) port that uses a Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC)
and a Fast Ethernet/Ethernet (10/100-Mbps) port with an RJ-45 connector.
Any two of the four ports are available at any one time."

Also for config -

int GigabitEthernet0/{0|1}
  media {rj45|gbic}
  speed {10|100|1000}
  duplex {half|full|auto}
  {no} negotiation auto

Now, if someone were to forward one to my attention, I'd check these
little details closely. 8-)

Of course it's crazy having GigabitEthernet1/0 be a 10BT, but then on a
GSR Ethernet0 could be 100 BT, so it must be somebody's private joke. 8-)
