Cisco Systems WSC2960S24TSSRF User Manual

The switch 10/100 and 10/100/1000 port configuration changes to operate at the speed of the attached 
device. If the attached ports do not support autonegotiation, you can manually set the speed and duplex 
parameters. Connecting devices that do not autonegotiate or that have the 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 Ethernet ports:

Let the ports autonegotiate both speed and duplex.

Set the interface speed and duplex parameters on both ends of the connection.

Use the guidelines in 

 to select the correct cable for connecting the switch 10/100 and 

10/100/1000 ports to other devices. See the

To change the switch settings, you can use the switch default configuration or use any of the management 
options described in the
