If you are using a CISCO switch, this may be the cause. You have your media type set to auto. Netapp and Cisco do not negotiate well together. My suggestion would be to force the NIC to full duplex and force the port on the switch also. Also, i have never used 0.0.0.0 to specify "default" before. I am also curious as to what LinkNegotiation does?

Has anyone experienced the following problem - When my F740 reboots it will not come up on line. My work around at the present time is to pull the gigabit cable out of the flier then putting it back on. This seems to "wake-up" the connection. I have not been able to figure our exactly whats going on and our network administrator has looked at the Cisco 5505 on a wsx5403 (a 3 port gigabit) -- Notice the 0.0.0.0 for adding the default, "default" stopped working ---

I've got an Extreme Networks Black Diamond switch, and our F230 won't auto-negotiate 100-BT-fd with that either. Of course, neither will our Cisco 7507. It's ironic that the two more important bits on my network won't negotiate their connection speeds, but lots of irrelevant little workstations will.

We haven't had any problems with the NetApps detecting the right speed. However autonegotiating the duplex has been a problem for all of our boxes, NetApps, Auspex, Suns, and SGIs with CableTRON or Cisco switches.
