Whoa, Sent this out too early =) My mistake, configuration error on user end :) Problem was interfaces were not initialized properly (not UP). Please disregard, sorry for the noise! eth1: negotiated 100baseTx-FD, link ok eth2: negotiated 1000baseT-FD flow-control, link ok eth3: negotiated 1000baseT-FD flow-control, link ok eth4: negotiated 1000baseT-FD flow-control, link ok Justin. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ vRanger cuts backup time in half-while increasing security.
