NOTE

The device will be FE or GE capable, but will only display that is GE to indicate the maximum speed capability of the module.

NOTE

The actual speed will be displayed once the link is seen and the port auto-senses the speed of the SFP.

You can issue the show media command to display the type of optic installed and determine the speed the port will run at when the link is received.
