I'm currently sitting at my workstation (Sun Ultra2) and its hme0 autonegotiates fine with my Cisco 3524XL each and every time. I don't even have to pin any of the interfaces to 100/full. Admittedly I have had problems in the past, namely a bunch of E4500s to some 5000-series switches. Since they were in remote datacenters, I did pin the interfaces on both ends. -- /*===================[ Jake Khuon <khuon@NEEBU.Net> ]======================+ | Packet Plumber, Network Engineers /| / [~ [~ |) | | --------------- | | for Effective Bandwidth Utilisation / |/ [_ [_ |) |_| N E T W O R K S | +=========================================================================*/
