This is very true - take the trunking off the ports you wish to run
FEC on, you're not connecting to another switch and I'm sure that the
Compaq server isn't much interested in other VLAN traffic.
When you get this going you'll have to set the port channels to "on"
- the compaq cards don't use PAgP so the wont negotiate the
connection. You will also notice the lack of feedback on the FEC
connection for the same reason.
While I'm wittering on.... FEC isn't brilliant - it load shares
across the ports based on source MAC address only so any host making
a connection to the server will always use a single port. This means
that you'll only ever get a true per-session bandwidth of 100M. It's
a shmae it's not round-robin.
