We have this issue with our Nortel 8600s. We went round and round with their support and got nowhere. We updated our switch microcode/firmware too. It just doesn't work on the Nortel 8600. It's not the filer but the switch. We tried a different switch and it worked just fine. I guess that's what you get when you don't use what everyone else uses (Cisco).

Hi guys,
Have any of you had issues with the network interface on a filer not negociating to full flowcontrol?
