speed/duplex negotiation between pix & 2610 router
Hi guys, Has anyone experienced speed or duplex negotiation between a pix 506 ethernet interface and a cisco 2610's ethernet interface using a cross-over cable between the two? Should I uplink those two into a switch and let the switch worry about the negotiation? I'm currently experiencing 'interface up, line down' on the pix's ethernet0(i think it's intel NIC); this happens almost every 24 hours. Perhaps bad cross-over cable? Any input will be appreciated. -Frank _ FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

As a rule of thumb Frank, turn off all and everything that is auto sensing or auto anything. The best way to do anything is to manually get it right. There is a document on the cisco website, at the moment I do not have access to it, which describes the reasons for the errors and auto sensing nightmares. You will fins when you manually set the cards then most if not all of your errors will disappear.

Re: speed/duplex negotiation between pix & 2610 router
IIRC, the 2610 can only do 10MB, half duplex, and the PIX is a fastethernet interface. If you have the PIX set for autonegotiate, slap yourself on the wrist (and refer to last week's thread on autonoegotiation) and then hard-set the speed and duplex to 10/half. You could always do a show interface on the PIX to see what settings it thought it should use. Once you have those set reliably, if you still experience problems I would replace the crossover cable. There is no need to waste a switch or hub in the this situation unless you feel like trying it for troubleshooting purposes.

Re: speed/duplex negotiation between pix & 2610 router
Hmm... okay, if that pix is only 10baseT, then I don't see how there could be a speed or duplex mismatch. Both sides can only do 10MB/half. I would replace the cable at this point. I had a similar situation once, except the line bounces were more frequent, and it turned out to be a bad crossover cable. Good luck! > Hi John, > Actually the pix 506 is a 10mbps interface(10baset).
