And its pervasive enough that I think it must be a difficult problem. We have HP-UX and Sun machines ranging in both age (software and hardware) from 3 to 0 years and NONE of them do proper auto-negotiation with our Cisco switches. NONE. And Cisco and Sun must be one of the most common combinations out there. Trouble is they sorta work. I shudder to think how much wasted bandwidth there is. -Matt Ronald G Minnich wrote: > [ .. ] The usual way we fix it is to tell the switch to skip > autonegotiation and wire the port to 100 Full.
