Is it necessary with current hardware to lock down auto-negotiation? Our network engineer is enphatic that everything has to be locked down at 100FD. He says that auto-negotiation will slow down the network with extra traffic. However, I can't find anything on the web that says why auto-negotiation wouldn't work, as long as the standard is adhered to and the only reason it shouldn't be adhered to is if the equipment is pre-1997. -- Jeff Rasmussen GPG public key 0x9686C12F -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
