I don't know what brand you're implementing, but these links provide some info:

The only instance that I've ever used auto sensing is with some old Sparc boxen.

Subject: Switch port settings


I know this was discussed a few months back but have had no luck finding
anything about it in the archive. Sorry if this is redundant.

We have a large implementation rolling out on several machines in several
different locations using several different NIC's and OS's . 
The problem is this, one group wants to set all devices to be set to use
auto-sensing and all the ports on the switches to auto-sensing. My group
thinks this is a bad idea but we can't seem to find any ammunition to
support our case. Is there some kind of official standard or something. In
our primary network we seem to have problems constantly if the PC's are set
to auto. These machines will be very mission critical handling millions of
dollars worth of transactions. In our primary network we seem to have
problems constantly if the PC's are set to auto-sensing.
