15. How do you set a static IP on a Cisco switch?
16. By default, Cisco switches will auto-negotiate the speed and duplex settings. When you connect a device (either a switch, router, or a workstation) to a port on a Cisco switch, the negotiation process will occur and the devices will agree on the transmission parameters. Most of the today’s network adapters support this function.
Consider the following example network:
In the picture above you see a network of a hub, a switch, and a workstation. All three devices have auto-negotiation turned on. Because hubs can only operate in half duplex, the switch and hub will negotiate to use the speed of 100 Mbps and half-duplex. The workstation on the right is capable of 100 Mbps and supports full duplex, so the devices will use these parameters to communicate.
(a) How can you verify the speed and duplex settings on SW1?
(b) It is recommended that devices on both sides of a link should have the auto-negotiation setting turned on, or both sides should have it off. If you encounter a device that has speed and duplex parameters manually configured, how can you use the interface mode speed and duplex commands to set the duplex and speed settings?,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
