Re: FreeBSD-6.x/7.x 1000BaseTX connection problem

We use em interfaces with Cisco switches all the time, all ports configured with default which is autonegotiation.

By default all ports participate in spanning-tree, which is probably any delay you're seeing. You can setup host ports by explicitly setting them up as access ports and then turning on spanning-tree portfast. That makes the ports come up almost immediately. I've never had a problem with Intel (em/fxp) or Broadcom (bge/bce) using auto-neg on any Cisco switch made in the last 8-10 years. -- Robert Blayzor, BOFH INOC, LLC rblay...@inoc.net http://www.inoc.net/~rblayzor/ ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

That's strange, I never encountered such a problem with neither bge(4), bce(4) nor em(4). Perhaps, you can try manually set media to GbE? Another guess is that the cable could somehow have some problems?
