gigabit adapter help

[monman]

I've configured a gig adapter to 4 AIX boxes but seem to be having probs with the link. Switch and routes checkout but entstat reveals link:down even though ifconfig reveals an 'up' status. Any ideas ??

All HP boxes seem to be working fine.

Hi,

Check "errpt -a",look for enX errors.

Also,try running "entstat enX",look for errors.

Possibly bad cable ? "Long live king Moshiach !"

Thanks for the reponse, the card is pinging fine but entstat -d still reveals link:down ? cables are fine.

entstat -drt ent0

reveals more

solution is to set media=autoselect and check what mode it choses

should be port: ~up driver: ~up media: ~autoselect ~maximum

We are still trying to get AIX gigabit to a level of stability such that we can actually use it. We have some issues open with IBM about it.

You are not the only Patch.1 Patch.2 Patch.3 Config.1 Config.2 Config.3 etc

We have gigabit ethernet on AIX for about two years now, and works most of the time:
The last problem was : sometimes a connection loss which is now resolved by either upgrade to ML10 or connector change on the switch (did both things simultaniously)

Yes, snef but you are only enforcing my point.
