Dan,
I don't know what the default setting on a Cisco Gbit blade is, but I had a similar experience this week on a 3Com switch. If autonegotiation is enabled on the switch port, either turn it off at the switch (preferred), or turn it on at the filer end:
rc_toggle_basic; alttune LinkNegotiation 1; rc_toggle_basic
You may find the card bursts into life :)
If you use this command, you'll need to put it in the rc file (after the ifconfig for the Gbit NIC).
Regards, Andrew

Support,
I recently received an F740 S/N 11918 with a gigabit Ethernet controller. I am running 5.2.1 DataONTAP. I had it configured into rc but when the system boots the link light just flashes. The connection is going to gigabit module on a Cisco Catalyst 5500 switch the link light on that side does nothing. I spoke to Cisco and they wanted to know if the Ethernet card was using the 803.Z standard.
