Hi guys,
Have any of you had issues with the network interface on a filer not negociating to full flowcontrol?
I'm seeing the issue using gigE dual port cards on the filer connecting back into a jet core foundry switch Gig Copper Module. Filer is running ONTAP 7.0.4.
Interface is fine:
e9: flags=848043<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 ether xxxxxxxxxxx (auto-1000t-fd-up) flowcontrol full trunked vifbxx
Switch setup is fine:
GigabitEthernetx/x is up, line protocol is up Hardware is GigabitEthernet, address is xxxxxxxxxx (bia xxxxxxxxxx) Configured speed auto, actual 1Gbit, configured duplex fdx, actual fdx Member of Lx VLAN ID xxx, port is untagged, port state is FORWARDING STP configured to ON, priority is level0, flow control enabled
ifstat shows flowcontrol set to none :-(
ifstat e9 LINK_INFO Current state: up | Up to downs: 9 | Auto: on Speed: 1000m | Duplex: full | Flowcontrol: none
Potential hardware compatability issue.........?
Note, mirrored setup using fibre cards/ports works fine.
The fibre card is: 1000sx-fd
gigE card is: 1000t-fd
Thanks, Philip
