Hi.. We just bought a cisco 3550 switch and it has 2 gigabyte fiber ports 12, 13 and 10 gigabyte fastethernet ports 1-10. But why they are all shown to be the same for eg interface GigabitEthernet0/1-12 in the config. And What kind of cable should I connected to port 1-10? Cat5 or Cat6? If we connected via Cat5 it means the speed is 1000Mbit?? I also feel strange that why the config shown as no ip address in all the interface, I thought we can only configure IP for VLAN in switches not interface? What is means by no switchport??
