Hi Paulo, I have some questions that might be able to shed some more light on the 2nd problem your experiencing. What kind of switches are you using and what software version? Are you using certified Cat5e or Cat 6 cables? How are the switch ports configured? Are all of the firewall interfaces using the same type of switch? Do you see the same issue when only one of the firewalls is online? Linux has always worked well for me with autonegotiation. Back in the day with Solaris I used to hard code the speed and duplex for 100/Full but with GigE it works better in autonegotiation. Now that's my experience but someone else might beg to differ. I hope this helps because that's what we're here for.
Take care, Shane -----Original Message----- From: Mailing list for discussion of Firewall-1 [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Paulo Vieira Sent: Tuesday, August 30, 2005 10:46 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [FW-1] NGX problems Hi everyone, I have recently installed a production NGX cluster and although practically everything is working ok! I have 2 glitches and would like to know if anyone has seen these problems before. 1st Problem - When I have the Cluster in Load Sharing (Unicast Mode) and with acceleration On (SecureXL) Messenger doesn't work it won't sign on. But if I enable "SDF - Sticky Decision Function" everything seems to start working. But in the meanwhile I've lost acceleration because of SDF. Has anyone had this problem?? 2nd Problem - I have 5 Intel Pro 1000 NICs - 2 x Single Port - 1 x Double Port - 1 x Server Onboard Port (Intel Corp. 82545GM Gigabit Ethernet) And both the Double port and onboard port only negotiate at 100MBit/s And if I use Ethtool to force to force to 1 GBit/s my VLANs stop working! Anyone ever have this problem!?
