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

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!?

Thanks and cheers
Paulo
