Try autoselect, if you get 100 full, stay in autoselect. (If you force 100 full and the switch is auto, then the switch will be in 100 half !) try this: ping -c 1000 -s 1500 IP_TO_PING wait for the 1000 ping to go trough. You should not have more than 0,5% of loss (is the servers aren't overload). If it's more or equal than 0,5%, it comes from the network (cables or switches fault). Each host would be in 100 full (via autoselect to be sure the conf is ok on the switch). Mathieu CHATEAU
