Network requirements

As shown in a:

Server A, Server B, and Server C are connected to GigabitEthernet 1/0/1, GigabitEthernet 1/0/2, and GigabitEthernet 1/0/3 or the switch respectively. The rates of the network adapters of these servers are all 1000 Mbps.

The switch connects to the external network through GigabitEthernet 1/0/4 whose rate is 1000 Mbps.

To avoid congestion at the egress port, GigabitEthernet 1/0/4, configure the auto-negotiation rate range on GigabitEthernet 1/0/1, GigabitEthernet 1/0/2, and GigabitEthernet 1/0/3 as 100 Mbps.
