We have 3000 systems and use all auto-sensing on both sides. We run into an issue maybe once or twice a year as a result. However, we do run a very standardized environment. All Cisco equipment and only a dozen or so different NIC's in the firm. I am a big supporter of auto-sensing.
In our case it easier to address these few issues then to manually set everything. -----Original Message----- From: John Allhiser [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, April 02, 2002 3:31 PM To: NT 2000 Discussions Subject: RE: Switch port settings I don't know what brand you're implementing, but these links provide some info: http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/473/3.html http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/473/46.html The only instance that I've ever used auto sensing is with some old Sparc boxen.

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.
