[QUOTE=jmozdzen;19838]Hi jqueiroz,
does this only happen with SLES11SP2? It might be an indication of wiring installation problems, in terms of being “on the edge” with regards to noise or other electrical issues.[/quote]
I only tested with SLES11SP2. But I believe this is a firmware issue, as the interface is marked down on the switch (Cisco 2960).
Also, it remains down during iLO and Intelligent Provisioning operations.
[quote]If you configure VLANs on your server (i.e. “vlan100” interface on top of the base Ethernet device), you’re running tagged traffic on the link (IEEE 802.1q). The switch must support that .1q traffic for the link(s) in question and needs to be configured to forward traffic for that (or “those”) VLAN(s). Soemtimes this is called “VLAN membership of the port”. If the switch port is configured to send untagged traffic, too, does that work?
[/quote]
I’ve tested both tagged and untagged interfaces. The only difference I saw is that using untagged interfaces, runts are being detected.
[A runt is an untagged packet that is smaller than 64 bytes, or a tagged packet that is smaller than 68 bytes].
I believe that this is a SP2 issue, as I tested it on a VM with similar results.
[quote]If you can share some server and switch configuration details, we might be able to tell more.

The switch is a Cisco Catalyst W2960S, with IOS 12.2(55)SE5.
The related interface’s configuration is as below.
interface FastEthernet0/13
switchport trunk native vlan 666
switchport trunk allowed vlan 10,11,100,103
switchport mode trunk
end

We have a few HP Proliant DL360e G8 here, and decided to use SLES 11
SP2 on them (as SLES 11 SP3 doesn’t seems to support the b120i RAID
Controller).
But now we’re facing some problems with them:
- The network interfaces only connect to gigabit ports on switch if we
use CAT6 cables;
- If I configure VLAN interfaces on the server, it simply doesn’t
communicates, even connected to 100Mbps ports.[/color]

Thanks for the response, Simon and Kevin.
I’ve found some support files, but I couldn’t test it yet. Supposing this will work, I’ll integrate it with SLES11 SP3 + OES11 media, so I can deploy this to the other 25 servers.
Note that most of them are located on branch offices, and there’s no qualified personal to cope with this task. So I need to create a well defined installation procedure.
