Hi Martin, I am not sure how you determine you only advertise 10/full, but speed detection is not hard, but rather duplex is where it's more necessary. The interface on the switch is able to operate in 10 or 100 at the phy, in this case it knows it can understand the 10Mb/s signaling coming

The 6500 definitely has a continuing niche. The N7K platform is definitely going to start stealing thunder from the 6500. It still lacks features as the 6500 is 10 years ahead in development. The VSS functionality in the 6500 is finally beyond bleeding edge. The 7K still is not as mature but is

I see - thanks for the clarification. The command on most of our switches to determine what speeds we can support is: show interface capabilities (nxos/ios) show port capabilities (catos) Chances are, your friend was using a 10/100/1000 port - but some interfaces are strictly 1000 (usually

That makes sense. I also noticed this really starting when the CPU is heavily nailed. (looking at the time this started against some graphs). Sounds reasonable I can try to bring the link up with the loop unloaded to see if that helps but I still sort of feel possible MTU issues but can't
