I’ve worked with many switches. I have not encountered a 10g switch that will negotiate to 10m. 100m is not automatic in most cases. These very old protocols are very different from modern 10g-100g. So much so that the transceivers may need to load a completely different firmware to even understand it.
- bombcar 3y ago100g may be too high, but my micro tick does fine: https://mikrotik.com/product/s_rj10 https://mikrotik.com/product/s_rj10 (I’ve not seen 100g over copper, but 10g is doable) I don’t know if it will go down to half duplex.
- toast0 3y agoHalf duplex is in spec at 100 as well as 10, so I'd be surprised if it didn't.
- yardie 3y agoOk. Most of my experience the switches will have 2 modes for each port: 1G/2.5G/10G/25G/100G or 10M/100M/1G/2.5G. This is typical for datacenter switches. Found this out when my trusty 10/100M USB dongle couldn't establish link. I needed to upgrade to a 1G USB3 dongle.
- bombcar 3y agoNow I want a datacenter switch with a gearshift for speeds, "high", "low" and "turbo" perhaps.
