If I have a 100Mbps cable and I connect it to a 10 Mbps switch and to that switch I connect another 100 Mbps switch, will that 100 Mbps switch connected at the last get 100Mbps speed?
Is there a defect in such a connection?
Answer
Assuming the two 100Mbps switches can switch down to 10Mbps, the connection will be at 10Mbps due to the intervening switch.
If one or both of the switches can’t switch down (but they probably can), you’ll have no connection between them at all.
