Hello,

It is always a good idea to set your duplex settings. Especially when
connecting Vendor A into Vendor B.

CRC errrors, input/output errors and collisions are a result of a duplex
mismatch. This can significantly reduce data throughput.

Hi there,

In a typical enterprise IPS deployment would it be normal to leave 
auto-sensing on the IPS and on the switches it was connected to, especially 
in 10/100/1000, or would it be wiser to set both ends to a particular speed? 
I have heard there may be issues with CRC errors etc.

Thanks...
