Port fast should be enabled, which is basically turning off spanning tree.

Not that I think the duplex neg has anything to do with this

but I can share this with regards to Cisco switches. My 170's both
mate to a
Cisco 3750 and I have them hard coated in the switch to full. I did
have a
negotiation issue at first but that was to do with the fact that the
negotiation lag time in the 3570 would sometimes exceed the firmware
time in
the 170's boot process and they would reboot just before the link
came up and
the establishment phase between the rays and the server would loop.
If I moved
to an older Cisco 2924 the link came up faster and this was not an
issue.
Oddly enough in my experience with Cisco switches and routers, which
is pretty
substantial, auto neg issues were noticed between cisco devices as
opposed to
a Cisco switch and a Sun server.
Correct me if I am wrong here, but isn't this why they want port fast
disabled or enabled? I can never remember which. The result is that the
switch port comes up faster?
Thanks
