<p><font size="2">Hello,</font><br>
<br>
<font size="2">I use 3750e switches as a top of rack switch also in smaller data-centers. To limit advertised speeds simply enter speed auto SPEED#...i.e. to allow only 10/100 do </font><b><font size="2">speed auto 10 100</font></b><font size="2"> on the interface. You could enter 10, 100, and/or 1000 (if you enter all three then the port operates like you entered none). </font><br>
<br>
<font size="2">A trick you could use to change the numbering is to provision a switch 0 in a stack, but never actually have it. You could then have your switches 1,2,3 etc. While I believe that would work, maybe someone else on here could chime in if there would be an issue with that...</font><br>

<br>
I am looking for a top of rack switch for a little project and the 3750 has caught my eye.. I had a few odd questions about it however.<br>
<br>
First, can you enable auto-negotiate on the 10/100/1000 ports that will only allow the host to negotiate 10/100 unless you want them to negotiate 10/100/100</font></tt><tt><font size="2">0</font></tt><tt><font size="2">?<br>
<br>
I believe there is a command in some 10/100/1000 switches that limits the maximum negotiation speed to 100Mbps or 10Mbps without having to set the speed/duplex manually.<br>
<br>
Second, is there any way with a switch like this to alter the port number?<br>
<br>
instead of GigabitEthernet0/1 it would be GigabitEthernet1/1? I know this seems trivial but some custom written software for whatever reason starts counting at 1/1 and goes to 1/48 (probably because it was made for 6500s)<br>
<br>
thanks,<br>
-Drew<br>
