Hi Julian,
Yes, the problem was the same when I used cross link for two years.
The duplex settings are identical on both servers.
Server A:
em1: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
options=4219b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,TSO4,WOL_MAGIC,VLAN_HWTSO>
ether 00:25:90:24:52:66
inet x.x.x.x netmask 0xfffffe00 broadcast x.x.x.x
nd6 options=29<PERFORMNUD,IFDISABLED,AUTO_LINKLOCAL>
media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseT <full-duplex>)
status: active
Server B:
em0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
options=4219b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,TSO4,WOL_MAGIC,VLAN_HWTSO>
ether 00:30:48:dd:fe:3e
inet x.x.x.x netmask 0xfffffe00 broadcast x.x.x.x
nd6 options=29<PERFORMNUD,IFDISABLED,AUTO_LINKLOCAL>
media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseT <full-duplex>)
status: active
I always suspected the 'em' driver and thought "it will be fixed in the
next release", but after ~3 years I think I need to dig deep to find the
root cause.
Regards,
Csaba
