Thanks Mike, I was able to get the jumpstart done by removing the aggregate and the trunking (thanks to meem) ... i was just thinking that maybe the setup was not working because of the
When the nxge interface sends out its rarp request to get its IP during the start of jumpstart, it is an untagged packet. Since the switch end is configured as a trunk, the switch might be expecting encapsulated packets from the server due to which the communication is not happening. But setting a native vlan on the truk should have solved the issue as I am under the impression that native vlan traffic is untagged. I am confused. Anyways thanks for the suggestion/help Rgds PK -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
