Hi, Can I connect a 100Mbit NIC to a 10Mbit switch without having to configure the NIC using mii-tool? I am trying to create a network where in the edges are 100Mbit and the core is 10Mbit as follows: 100Mbit 10Mbit 100Mbit |*******| <----------> |*******| <----------> |*******| switch switch switch All my network interfaces and switches work at 100Mbit and I am wondering if I need to buy a 10Mbit switch for the core. I know that i can use mii-tool to force the NIC to work at 10Mbit, but is it reliable? Any ideas, pointers welcome. TIA.
