What type of switches are you using? If it is Nortel their baystack 450 switches seem to have an awful time with autonegotiation under certain circumstances. The solution is to force them to the desired setting. No other Nortel switches exhibit this issue. The 450s are already MD and support will be discontinued I think in 2010. I would still verify any errors on both the switches side and the client side. You could have a broadcast storm. What is the cpu and interface usage on the CCA box (both the cam and the cas). If your running in VGW mode you could simply plug a X/O cable inplace of the CAS, which would either eliminate the CAS as the issue or point to the cas as the issue. I have also seen slow logins with CAM that have many rules. I can't remember what version but Cisco supposedly put a cron job to clean up the postgres DB. I found that it didn't actually add the cron job when I did my upgrade and I added it. The command is vaccumdb.

That's what we're told, but they opened a TAC case for us anyway. I suspect database corruption or a slow hardware death of some kind. >>> "Osborne, Bruce W.

At one time we were running 4.0.4 on Dell PowerEdge 850 servers, supported by a Cisco contract. We are now running 4.1.2.1 on the same servers.
