Two mentions of problems with manually configured gigabit operation. Is there really a problem in that scenario? Shouldn't be. Regardless of what the UI appears to be doing, you can't do gigabit without autonegotiating. It shouldn't be possible to create a duplex mismatch on a gig link. Either I'm confused, or this should be added to the list of myths that need debunking. /chris _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
