Subject:   Network hangs when switching from 10 BT shared hub to 10/100 BT autosensing switch
Message-ID:  <02ef01bfe04f$67180990$3214000a@IRONWOOD>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
When switching over two versions of FreeBSD (3.0-RELEASE and 2.2.6-RELEASE)
on an internal network from 10baseT shared hubs to 10/100baseT autosensing
switched ports, the network on each hangs.  Upon reboot, it shows that it
has properly seen the network port 100BT full duplex and the network cards
show the 100 BT link light on:

.... /kernel: xl1: autoneg complete, link status good (full-duplex, 100Mbps)

Another characteristic is that the 3.0 machine hung the boot around
configuring sendmail (probably because the network wasn't working).

Any help is appreciated for this weird side effect.

Jon
