What you're seeing is the reported speed of the vnic to the vSwitch. This will always be at 10 gig.

 

 

The uplink for the vSwitch can change in speed - but this is independent of the BIG-IP VE.

 

 

In other words, this is perfectly normal. You don't need to change the BIG-IP VE interface's speeds and duplexity from the stock settings.

 

 

 

This is part of the BIG-IP VE 10.2 release notes, perhaps it will help you: (beyond this, you could edit the .scf (which I presume is from another platform?) and remove the interface specific settings before import)

 

 

Use of Single Configuration File (SCF) feature (CR137597)

 

Copying an SCF from a VMware host system to an F5 hardware platform causes an error related to interface mismatching. To work around this issue, save the bigip.conf and bigip_sys.conf files within BIG-IP VE, copy the files to the new platform, and then, on the new platform, run the commands bigpipe merge bigip.conf and bigpipe merge bigip_sys.conf.
