According to Ethernet, The Definitive Guide, that feature is an optional part of the spec. One thing I've heard people encounter is that if they use a cross-over cable, which probably really implies a 100BASE-TX cross-over, then the ports only go to 100Mbps. A Gig-E rated straight through, in

( You can said that it means nothing but... (; ) I second that. I always crimp (or check) for it. Also watch for Cat 6 cabling ... 23 gauge is hell to crimp. 24 is livable but takes twice as much time to do than Cat 5e. (You have to cut that little plastic guide and the pairs

Hi, I'm having a right mare trying to get a Foundry BigIron to connect up to a cisco 2950T, via Gigabit copper. The Foundry BigIron is using a cisco RJ45/copper GBIC that was pulled from a live cisco 6500, where it was working fine. The cisco 2950T has two fixed 10/100/1000 RJ45 ports.

You are using a crossover cable right? If that's all set, you do need to have neg-off on the Foundry and no nego auto on the Cisco. I haven't used the rj-45 gbics in the Foundry equipment before, not sure if that could be an issue. I would go with the hard set 1000-full on both sides. David

Hi, Yup, it's definately a cross-over cable. ;) I had already tried this suggestion but the cisco 2950T doesn't appear to have the no nego auto command :/ (config)#int Gi0/2 (config-if)#no n? % Unrecognized command (config-if)#no n (config-if)#no neg auto ^ % Invalid input

Wikipedia reveals all. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossover_cable Turns out that for 1000Base-T crossovers pairs 2 and 3, and 1 and 4 have to swapped. Standard TIA-568B to TIA-568A over swaps 2 and 3. Auto MDI/MDI-X is optional in the 1000Base-T spec so the way forward is to try a
