Greetings,
We're having more adventures setting up VSWITCHes. Our OSA-E's are
configured 100Mb full duplex. Switches we're tried are Alcaltel 6624 and
Alcatel 7700. Symptoms are the same - if the Alcatel switch port is
configured as a trunk at full duplex, we can't get a link light. If the
switch is half duplex we get the link light but can't talk through. If the
switch port is defined as a normal "host" port at full duplex, the link
light comes on and we can connect Linux guests to the outside (only on the
VLAN specified on the switch for that port, of course).
This seems to be extraordinarily odd behaviour at the physical layer,
occurring whether we have the OSA attached to the VSWITCH or anything else.
Has anyone seen this before? If not, we've got some serious detective work
to do.
Best regards,
Mark Wheeler, 3M Company
