Hello everyone,

I have a possibly stupid question: Will 10GTBASE card (10Gbps) be able to communicate with a 1Gbps switch? I want to buy a new server, and I want to prepare for 10GbE network, but I'm not sure if it's really backward compatibile?

Thanks!

10GBASE-T is simply an Ethernet standard, it should happily negotiate down to 1G.

if your concerned, look at the Ethernet card your buying, it should say it supports 1000BASE-T, 1gbit or something to that respect.
