Speed of ports on Gold; selectable SIP ALG

I have read and am impressed with the product. I have two questions as I consider a purchase.

The Gold has 4 gigabit Ethernet ports. Will these ports autonegotiate at 100Mb? I have two devices which are 100Mb only, which I would prefer not to plug into the switch for the rest of the LAN. I want these two devices to plug directly into the Gold. The switch of course is 1Gb on all ports.

Second question; my current router/firewall (needing replacement because too slow) has a selectable SIP ALG. I can turn this off, and I need to turn it off in order for my particular VOIP phones to function properly. I cannot find any specification info regarding this. Moreover, certain lower end router/firewalls have a SIP ALG built in and it cannot be disabled. I want to make sure that the Gold either has NO SIP ALG built in, or if it does, that it can be disabled in the software configuration.

Thanks for any help and insight!

I'm pretty sure the ports are autonegotiate 10/100 I think that's built into just about everything these days.

Under NAT Settings/NAT Passthrough there is a "SIP" option (as well as H323) that are disabled by default (can be enabled). From the "Firewall Feature Guild: Network Manager - NAT Settings" that show it in the GUI, but no explanation as to what it does. Here's a post ("How to disable SIP ALG?") where someone using tan Obihai 202 left it as disabled and isn't having problems (whereas he did with an Edgerouter X).
