Hey Guys,
I am hoping some of you out there may have experienced this problem in the past. We have a spare NIC on a DELL X445 (Broadcom NetXtreme BCM5793 1000Base-T) running ESX 3.5. No matter what I do I cannot seem to get this NIC working properly. I have it connected to a 3750 switch GIG GLC-T SFP port and I am getting err-disable loopback issues where the switch is actually receiving its own keep alives on the same port. I have messed with the various duplex / speed settings at both ends and this doesn't seem to resolve the issue. I have turned off inline power and mdix auto. The cable is CAT5E UTP. Several cables have been tested and the length is no longer than 10m. I have connected this NIC to a 3550 series switch and the exact same thing happens. I have come to the conclusion that the NIC must be faulty or musn't have the correct drivers installed. Any ideas? Thanks, Aaron. _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
