Yes. We recently rolled out new switches in a couple sites (4507-R with Sup6E and 10/100 blades) and were checking to see if any clients came up wrong. We panicked when we saw tons of clients coming up 10/full, 10/half, and 100/half. All over the map.
Turns out all the workstations were powered off during the install, and it was just the WoL drivers that were wonky. Once booted everything auto'ed up properly. -Geoff On Fri, Aug 20, 2010 at 11:28 AM, Jeff Kell <[email protected]> wrote: > While we're on the autoneg subject... > > Has anyone else run into cases of newer computers that support a powersave > and/or > "wake-on-lan" state where in that instance the interface goes into a > 10Mb/full connection? > > Drives us nuts with the growing "green" initiatives... > > Computers that do that go into some sort of zombie state that doesn't quite > autoneg > properly, our switches (Cisco and Procurve) go to 10/full, but the device > doesn't seem > to quite be full, and the ports will generate lots of up/downs and errors > while in that > state. > > If you're doing any sort of monitoring that involves trapping mac-address > changes or > linkup/linkdowns, they'll drive your monitors crazy too... > > When they're "working" they'll do gig/full, but when in this zombie state, > they autoneg > down to 10/full > > Jeff > _______________________________________________ > cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] > https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp > archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/ > _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
