NIC.NICConfig.LnkSpeedConfigRef (Read Only)
Description
Manual Link Speed configuration form reference for Link speed(s) to be advertised to link partner for
boot protocol operations and possibly including Wake On LAN and shared LOM management features
if separate Vaux link speed control is not supported. Implementations should only include supported link
speeds. Existing implementations may continue to use attribute defined in Mapping spec version A12 ,
new implementations should not use those speeds listed as deprecated but use the new speeds that have
been added that infer what modulation scheme is in use, NRZ or PAM4. New implementations should
transition to allow multiple speeds to be selected instead of just one in a simple enumeration scheme.
NOTE: This setting is only valid when LnkSpeedMethod is set to Manual and should be greyed out when
set to Auto. Whether or not they are greyed-out, this should represent the link speeds that are currently
being advertised to the link partner.

NIC.NICConfig.PermitTotalPortShutdown (Read or Write)
Description
When implemented and enabled, any port down command from the host OS or driver will cause the
network port to completely shut down and cease all operations including support of WoL and NC-SI
Pass-through.  Shutdown is defined as no electrical activity (e.g., PHY disabled) and no LED
activity.  It does not imply or require any physical or electrical isolation.  Not intended for
implementation or use on backplane designs. External network traffic to and from any VF instantiated on
