Was getting horrible transfer rates and then confirmed it was 10-half via ethtool, the switch did match at 10 but thought it was full. > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] > [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Shaun Qualheim > Sent: Thursday, July 22, 2010 7:49 PM > To: Robin Bowes > Cc: [email protected] > Subject: Re: R300 & auto negotiation > > Most of the time when this has happened to us, it's been more > of a switch issue. Have you used these switch ports with > other PowerEdge servers before? Yeah, we use all Foundry FES9604 96-port 10/100 switches at the edge and have 400+ various PowerEdge servers plugged into them and the only server on any of the switches that has ever had a negotiation issue has been this one R300, and it did replace a first gen PE1950 on the same port which negotiated fine. We only have one other R300 out of all the servers, but it's CentOS 4 and x86 and negotiates fine, as opposed to the one with the problem being CentOS 5 x86_64, and probably about nine months difference in manufacture date, so not sure if any of those factors made the difference.
