According to that your system is able to auto-negotiate, and is publishing that it can run at 1000Mb/s. In order to get the correct speed though, two things must happen:

• The switch or router must work with auto-negotiate and be able to choose 1000Mb/s;
• The cable itself must be of sufficient quality to run at the higher speed.

It’s rather rare for the ethernet cable itself to be of insufficient quality, but if you look at statistics for the interface, then if you see errors, overruns, so on, then it could be the cable. What do you see for the output from “ifconfig eth0”?

Also, what is the nature of the cable and how it is connected? Meaning is this just some ordinary length of ethernet cable which goes to a router? To a switch?

Hi, I connect the TX2 with my laptop using the ethernet cable. And test it again. The speed is now shown as 1000MB/s. Thank you very much.
