[c-nsp] Questions Regarding Cisco 3750 switches

[Drew Weaver]

Hmm, darn.

Does anyone know if on say a 4948 you can tell it to be GigabitEthernet 1/1 instead of 0/1? I know this is stupid and pointless but it would be a handy feature =D

I don't think this will fix the OP's request.

A fresh-out-of-box 3750 will have ports 1/0/N where N is 1-48 and some 
uplink ports of varying numberings (3750X will have G1/1/N and T1/1/N, 
for example).  Doing 'switch 1 renumber Y' will only change the ports to 
be Y/0/N, GY/1/N, and TY/1/N.

As far as the other question, a 3750X is allowing me to do 'speed auto 
10 100', and if I'm at 'speed auto 10' and hit the question mark, I see:

   100   Include 100 Mbps in auto-negotiation advertisement
   1000  Include 1000 Mbps in auto-negotiation advertisement
<cr>

I presume that'll do what you wish.  I suspect it'll still operate at 
1000 if you do 'speed auto 10 100' and the other side sends GE link 
pulses, but don't know for certain.
