Hi

This just refers to the mode the port is running in, MDI or MDI-X. If you have no performance issues, this isn't an issue by itself. If you do have performance issues this might point to a contributing factor, but you need to contact support for help on that.

It will be random with 1000T, if you have a straight through cable.
