A network administrator is connecting two modern switches using a straight-through cable. The switches are new and have never been configured. Which three statements are correct about the final result of the connection? (Choose three.) The link between switches will work as full-duplex. The connection will not be possible unless the administrator changes the cable to a crossover cable. If both switches support different speeds, they will each work at their own fastest speed.
