I've always been told to match both sides. if you lock the switchport to 100/full then make sure you do the same on the server NIC. if you set one to auto, set the other side to auto. I've had different people tell me to lock the settings in and others tell me to use auto. and some say it doesnt matter as long as they match. We lock them in and don't have any trouble.

<div>We were using a CE500 at our Altrim site, but when we added more people, we bumped to a 3560. Our server constantly seems to lose connection with the unit! (Yet, according to port counters, no errors are seen). (we went for 4 users with phone and data, to 12 users with phone and data. all 7940s)
<br><br>Has anyone seen this? I have had people say "DON'T set the port speed on both the server AND the switch, but DO set it on one of them." <br><br>Is the 3560 less forgiving?? I'll take any hints at all, so I won't have to be here all weekend long!!
