Our company currently has about 15 different servers, all with gigabit ethernet cards. Our router is a Cisco 2600 Series, and our firewall is a SonicWall Pro 300. We currently have an older 10/100 switch connectiong all of our servers, basically like this:
Router -> Firweall -> Switch -> Servers
We plan to replace the older switch with a new Gigabit switch (all 24 ports are 10/100/1000). Basically, we want our servers to be able to communicate with EACH OTHER over a gigabit connection instead of 10/100 (for speeding up backups, data replication, etc).
Will the 10/100 connection coming from the firewall cause a problem with this?
