We recommend using switches that automatically adjust their port speed to the speed of the node connected to a particular port. Also, make sure all devices on a shared network can exchange data on the ports and protocols described in the next section. | We recommend using switches that automatically adjust their port speed to the speed of the node connected to a particular port.
