And it works...... set port negotiation [mod/port] disable Thanks to all who replied ;) -----Original Message----- From: Michael Hawk [mailto:hawk@globalcenter.net] Sent: 29 January 2001 18:10 To: Alison Gudgeon Subject: Re: Cat. 6509 - Foundry Server Iron Interoperability Hello, 'port negotiation' - not the same as auto-negotation seen w/ 10/100, but is an option on a GigE port on a cat 6509. Try this: set port negotiation [mod/port] disable ex: set port negotiation 2/3 disable Good luck. -mike On Mon, Jan 29, 2001 at 05:44:40PM -0000, Alison Gudgeon <agudgeon@firstnet.co.uk> wrote:

Hi All,

I wonder if anyone else has experienced the following problem and could perhaps offer a solution:

Interconnecting Catalyst 6509 Short Haul GBICs up to a Foudry Server Iron

with SC-SC fibre patch lead. The foundry sees a link light BUT the cisco see's nothing connected. What sprung to mind was auto neg. problems on

SX the

CAT but auto neg is not a supported option so it can't be this?

Thanks in advance.
