I am going to replace the 100mbit switch that I put in place temporarily when our last gigabit switch failed with a new gigabit switch made by a different manufacturer tonight.

     There will be very brief (under 2 seconds) interruptions in connectivity that may cause a momentary pause in videos being watched or keystroke echoes.  There is a remote possibility that I may have to reboot the mail server if it does not automatically recognize the speed change.  In the past it has always recognized increases but not decreases so this probably will not be necessary but it is a possibility.
