IBM should provide the flexibility to operate a single port at different speeds when the hardware supports higher bandwidth. At present, the 100G ports appear to require a dedicated 100G connection rather than allowing operation at lower speeds. While the appliance already provides 1G, 10G, and limited 40G options, once higher-bandwidth connectivity is introduced it becomes a business decision as to which speed is appropriate for the environment. Allowing the 100G ports to operate at multiple speeds would provide greater flexibility and help align the connectivity choice with the actual business requirement.
