10. A switch and a NIC are negotiating a connection. The switch operates at 10 Mbps, and 10000 Mbps. The switch supports both half-duplex and full-duplex connect The NIC operates at 1000 Mbps and 10000 Mbps. The NIC supports both half-duple full-duplex connections. After the negotiation, what speed will the link operate at? wil i duplex connections x and be full-duplex or half-duplex? 11.
