The switch 10/100 ports configure themselves to operate at the speed of attached
devices. If the attached ports do not support autonegotiation, you can explicitly
set the speed and duplex parameters.
Connecting devices that do not autonegotiate or that have their speed and duplex
parameters manually set can reduce performance or result in no linkage. To
maximize performance, choose one of these methods for configuring the 10/100
Ethernet ports:
Let the ports autonegotiate both speed and duplex.
•
• Set the port speed and duplex parameters on both ends of the connection.
Follow these steps to connect to 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX devices:
When connecting to workstations, servers, routers, and Cisco IP Phones, connect
a straight-through Category 5 cable to an RJ-45 connector on the front panel
(Figure 2-28). When connecting to switches or repeaters, use a crossover
Category 5 cable. Pinouts for the cables are described in the
