In the export tools there appears to be a bug in the Interfaces section. Some of the ports that were set for faster speeds than 100mbps get set to 100mbps. Is that something that has already been reported and is being looked into?

In the export tools there appears to be a bug in the Interfaces section. Some of the ports that were set for faster speeds than 100mbps get set to 100mbps. Is that something that has already been reported and is being looked into?

Which device and which firmware version?
Can the interface handle faster than 100Mbps? Ie. is it a Gigabit interface or even faster? Or is it just a FastEthernet (100Mbps) interface?

Those are good questions. Try using different hardware and software versions and see what you are able to find out.

if set to auto that field is ignored. i always thought that was weird to include that.

Part of my confusion thus far was thinking a "speed=" setting was the same as the "advertise=" setting which appears if in a default mode is not exported and I thought it would be verbose showing all options..For example, on RB450G gigabit ports in the Winbox GUI if "Auto Negotiation" is checked and then under the Advertise section "10M half", "100M half", "1000M half", "10M full", "100M full" and"1000M full" are all checked and no others in that section are an export will show "speed=100Mbps" even when the port is actually running at "1000Mbps" yet not list anything for "advertise=" skipping it entirely. Yet, if I uncheck all the half duplex options and also "10M full" leaving only "100M full" and "1000M full" checked in the Advertise section the export line for that interface will then include a "advertise=" option that specifically is "advertise=100M-full,1000M-full" but also still having the "speed=" exported part to be, "speed=100Mbps".

I think as mentioned prior I can just ignore or even search and nix the "speed=" entries from my backup scripts and hard code any Advertise options I want depending on what I am connecting to ports and get around the fact that sometimes the export command does not export Advertise options I might want to have specified if I want to use the export tool for some of my scripting.
