Dear colleagues,
experimenting with new amd64-based router we found strange re(4) behaviour
when working in autoselect media mode:
whenever promisc mode turned on, renegotiating occurs, leading to 3 to 45
(depending on STP settings on the switch) network unavailability.
Moreover, some other re(4) setting changes seem to disturb link state
unneededly (such as ifconfig re0 -vlanhwtag)
The most annoying fact is that we non-autonegotiating mode with our re and
D-Link gigabit switches: fixing media at 1000BaseTX leads to link down
regardless of master/slave settings on both sides; on re side it is even
undocumented.
Any clues?
Thanks in advance.
Sincerely,
D.Marck [DM5020, MCK-RIPE, DM3-RIPN]
