Also, assuming the switchport on the 3550 is setup with default
settings, it will autodetect the speed and duplex of the connected link,
so no problems there. Having said that, you might be getting caught by
spanning tree. Unless you enable spanning-tree portfast on the 3550
switchport, you will get 50 seconds (up to 50 seconds with default STP
timers) after connecting/bringing up the link where the router won't be
able to communicate thru the switch until STP puts that port in
forwarding mode. So it could be very easy to assume there's a problem
if you connect the router and then quickly try to ping/communicate thru
the switch and you see it fail.

Subject: Cisco 2507 with Hub ports to 3550 Switch
Does anyone know if it is possible to connect the hub ports on a 2507 to
a 3550 switch. I tried a crossover cable, setting the speed and duplex
speed to 10half on switch, setting swithport to routed port, but
nothing works. Hub ports only seem to work if directly plugged into
another router or PC.
