Here is the scenario.
I have a gigabit fiber connection coming in and a cisco 2970 catalyst. I'm trying to bring in a firewall that only has a 100Mbps external port. I've purchased a 1G fiber/copper media converter, however the copper side only operates at 1G. Shouldn't I be able to add in a 10/100/1000Mbps switch that will pass the signal to the firewall? Then add run a straight cable to my catalyst that will be on the trusted side of the firewall? Then everything on the catalyst will be BEHIND the firewall?
HELP!
