Well.... there are a ton of answers to that question....... That is the other routed connection on the 2620? A T1? I mean, 99% of the time the WAN bandwidth is going to be so slow (compared to even 10Mbps ethernet) that it really doesn't matter..... I don't remember off the top of my head on the 2600s, but if you are using 2 ethernet ports, and routing between them, then set the for 100-Full. Personally I would always set the switchport and router interface to 100-Full, but again, in the case of a single Fastethernet port routing to/from a WAN interface, the router won't affect local traffic and the WAN connection will more than likely (especially on a 2600 router) be slower than 10Mbps, you could set the router and switch to 10-Full and it wouldn't affect performance at all.... (IMHO, there's never a good reason to connect a switch and a router at half duplex unless that is all that the router supports like on the old 2500s). Just use your best judgement.... if using 10Mbps, would that become the bottleneck in the traffic flow? If so, go to 100.... if not, don't worry about it....
