The interface becomes un-pingable and unresponsive. The rest of the system remains functional. This is highly annoying when you have to log in to 16 machines to fix all the boxes that you had plugged into the switch. I have noticed varying specifics under different cards. For example, a Kingston PCI 21041 10Mbps card may print that it has autoselected the AUI or BNC ports at the time the switch is cycled - even though these ports do not exist on a KNE40T. The SMC 9332BDT/9334BDT 10/100 cards appear to have the correct status lights indicating the current mode of operation, but when I type the "ifconfig <ifc> down", they will print a message that the 100baseTX mode has been selected. See my previous report for a possibly related bug. Both of these bugs are rather annoying and problematic. If it wasn't for the port density offered by some de-based cards, ... >How-To-Repeat: Power cycle the Bay Switch. >Fix: Reset box, or ifconfig <ifc> down; ifconfig <ifc> up >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
