Hi Guys, after ROS 6.11 one can "tune" what is advertised on Copper Gigabit Ethernet ports ie you can disable certain speed and duplex advertisments when auto-negotiating...
Regarding MT Switch Chips.. . there can be Duplex and Speed negotiation issues particularly when talking with Licenced Radio Kit...... only advice would give is upgrade your firmware ( Bootloader) and OS Particularly on Rb1xxxx models and RB2xxx / RB75XX models. a word of warning... Steer clear of ports 12& 13 on RB11xxx Boards... and ports 9 and 10 on RB1200 boards as these perform less on single connections than the other ports on the system.. ( other ports are directly attached to the CPU network controler) basically on a 1200... you will get 10x Routed throughput between ports any port 1-5 (switch chip) and 6,7,8 compared with throughput to or from ether 9 and 10. CCRs and Decent X86 Routers dont suffer from that particular driver issue... On x86 with Intel NICs or CCR models ... with Gigabit ports.. they seem to behave them selves... DUplex and Speed Setting on these work ok in my experience... Hope this helps...
