Question 3

Will this module also work with 10/100 data rates?

Accepted Answer

Honestly, I'm not sure. This was actually purchased by the previous Network Administrator up here, and since then we have pulled the netgear equipment off the racks and have been using HP Switches.

I couldn't imagine that anyone would want to ever go back to that old technology though. 1000 mbps is all over the place and affordable, and in my opinion worth every penny, unless there is some sort of device compatibility that you need, then I could see why you would want it.

However, I would assume that the module would be perfectly capable considering the switches we had supported 10/100/1000. Surely there has to be a way to console into it, or some sort of web GUI where you can manipulate the module?
