Hi

As far as I know most sfp's cannot switch speeds so I recon it is not possible.
Wait, you have two 1gb uplinks, not even sfp connections? Then there is no way.

Hi
1gb copper? Do you have a twingig converter or are you using DAC cables?
Eitherway i dont expect it to work.

Cheers
Yes, you can do this, you need to purchase a GLC-T sfp module.
