[cisco-voip] Switch Upgrade causing fits!

[Ted Nugent]

No Sorry, thats not what I meant, I meant that if you
were to ONLY lock in one side you could get away
locking in speed but not Duplex. As a general rule I
lock in BOTH sides of all server and router ports and
leave all my phone ports as Auto. Unless both sides of
a server link supports 1000MBps then I leave the ports
as auto, I've seen a ton of weird occurances when I've
tried locking in a Gig port in the past?
