Speed and duplex setting

Hi guys,

Typically, I don't configure or change any default settings unless the lab
calls for it.

But, I'm wondering if I should manually configure the speed and duplex of 3550
ports?

The new Cisco Press book, CCIE Routing & Switching Practice Labs recommends
this, but I wanted to hear whatever pro's and con's people had to this idea.

Specifically, in the lab, what kinds of problems could I run into if I left
these settings at their default of auto?

Thanks in advance, Tim
