load on the network.
The Managed Switch performs "Store and Fforward"; therefore, no error packets occur. More reliably, it reduces the
re-transmission rate. No packet loss will occur.

5.5 Auto-Negotiation

The STP ports on the Switch have built-in "Auto-negotiation". This technology automatically sets the best possible bandwidth
when a connection is established with another network device (usually at Power On or Reset). This is done by detecting the
modes and speeds at the second of both devices are connected. Both 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX devices can connect with
the port in either half- or full-duplex mode. 1000BASE-T can be only connected in full-duplex mode.
