Had to manually set the xl0 interface to 100baseTX and full-duplex or the switch would not even recognize that a port was there (researched an article on this earlier... something about the auto negotiation not working for some BSD ports). one that was done, the switch recognized that a cable was attached and a NIC was on the other end. Cannot get out of the FreeBSD box to the switch/router/internet/other boxes on same network. ping and other network utils respond with "host is down" ifconfig shows the interface up(have also tried downing and upping) and reads the media correct, HOWEVER it does indicate "status: no carrier" am wondering if it is not picking up the switch during boot or something. At a loss here. The FreeBSD boxes are the only pieces of hardware unable to get online as a result of this. using unroutables, here is what the network looks like: Network 192.168.1.0/26 Router 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.192 Switch 192.168.1.5 255.255.255.192 Workstations 192.168.1.20-24 255.255.255.192 FreeBSD1 192.168.1.10 255.255.255.192 Gateway Router 192.168.1.1 aliased 192.168.1.15-17 255.255.255.192 FreeBSD2 192.168.1.11 255.255.255.192 Gateway Router 192.168.1.1 Obviously we are using all routable IP addresses, these are for layout purposes only.
