Gigabit EtherChannel between 6509 and Intel Pro/1000 MTx

I am trying to configure gigabit etherchannel to connect our backup server with a 6509. The Intel Pro/1000 MT nic in the server has two gigabit ports and supports teaming using LACP. I have configured two gig ports on the 6509 as layer 2 etherchannel ports ( channel-group 2 mode active ). The switch ports always show up as disabled. I can't seem find any documentaion on connecting server to switch using etherchannel ( although the Intel Pro MT nic documentaion does mention it ). Does anyone have experience doing this ?

We always just use load balancing on the Intel NICs and do nothing with the switch but make sure that the ports are in the correct vlan.
We have been using this for over 3 years flawlessly.
Our switches are a Cat4006 and Cat4506.

Please Help: Intel Pro 1000 NIC not detected by Solaris 10

Hi there,
I just installed Solaris 10 in my Dell Dimension 8400 w/ an Intel Pro 1000 Gigabit on-board NIC. However, the network doesn't work. I checked "ifconfig -a" and only lo0 showed up. Anybody can give me any instruction to make it work? I guess I need to install the driver (e1000g?) first.
I'm totally new for Solaris... (I used Fedora Linux for a while though). Thanks a lot for you help!

Network card: e1000g (Intel PRO/1000 MT) did not working properly

Hi to everyone!
I'm having some strange trouble.
All computers attached to one DLink gigabit switch
Server #1:
nf4-based motherboard, Intel PRO/1000 MT net card, onboard net card (forcedeth driver used) Ubuntu Linux 2.6.25 kernel version.
All just working.
Server #2:
nf6-based motherboard, same Intel net card, SunOS 5.11 snv_86.
All just working.
Server #3:
Same as server's #1 nf4-based motherboard. Same onboard card. Same SunOS 5.11 snv_86 as server #2 have installed.
Its work. BUT..
Intel card is not working as expected.
It is seen by system. It is properly up and running. It is sending packent and receiving packets. Ierrs=Oerrs=Collis=Queue=0.
But thru e1000g0 interface no one computer can reach this one, and from server #3 no one computer is seen thru e1000g0. Exept...
Except two old Sunray1 devices (attached to the same switch for testing purposes)! But even these devices seen only by arp requests, and is not pingable.
It is some mistery, but if I turn on jubmo frames, these rays got a picture from SRSS, testing on this sevrer! Not for long, heh, they hung up fast, but this is proof a physical connection :)
So, I can not disable onboard network card on Server #3 - server becoming unreachable :(
I know, those network cards must work on Solaris - as they did it on server #2. I know, those network cards work with my nf4-based motherboards - as they did it on server #1.
But I can't uderstand, whait is going on with e1000g driver on server #3!
P.S. Kernel driver e1000g settings are the same. All difference from servers #2 and #3 is: #2 had Intel netcard installed then Solaris was setting up, and #3 had Intel netcard installed later. All netcards are working (I trying to swap them from one computer to another - did not change anything).

*) #3 thinks it is sending, but a NIC/driver error prevents it.NIC is fully health. It is tested on another PC. Driver error - or driver's bad implementation - is the one I'm thinking.
*) #3 has a bad transmit pair of wires (would affect all communication)This patchcord works w/o problems on other PCs and even on onboard NIC of server #3.
*) Network problemsHeh :)
*) Firewall or other device is dropping the ARP repliesIt is some very stealthy and very selective firewall, affecting only external NICs :)
BTW, then cord is attached to NIC, it sends "who has this IP" requests, asking to be shure there will not be an IP conflict. No one seen this requests.
*) #1 has a NIC/driver error preventing it from seeing the reply.Only for send from #3? It is like a firewall on #3 :) And, there is more PCs, not only #1-#3. No one can see #3's replays (or asks), not only #1..
I'm repeating: this PC works in network now on onboard NIC w/o problems. But onboard NIC is only 100 Mb/s, and we need 1 Gb/s.
I was thinking, Solaris took wrong MAC for NICs - but not, ifconfig shows the same MACs as marked on NICs.
Even more, yesterday i plumbed e1000g1 - second Intel NIC in server #3. And I was surprised - it worked perfectly!
But I make "touch /reconfigure; init 6" - and after reboot, no one of two Intel NICs working again :( They both have the same behavior - no one can see packets they sends.)
I even try to restrict connection on 100 Mb/s by driver's .conf modify - it works, link become yellow instead of green (take a note, NIC is able to "speak" properly with switch!), but all other stay the same.
Strange, really strange behavior. More strange is a fact this NICs work on another instance of same SunOS, but on different motherboard, while the same MB with same NIC is working w/o problems under Ubuntu. Looks like some bug in Solaris driver.

Intel Pro/1000

Hi,
A probably silly question follows.
I was given an Intel Pro/1000 Gigabit Ethernet adapter ( 1000BASE-SX )
and I was wondering if I can fit it to a Sun Ultra 30. I plan to buy another
Sun workstation soon ( probably a Blade 1000 or 2000, will see ), will it
fit there?
( I am after a Sun adapter but just in case... )
Regards,
Nick.

Ops!
Thank you for your reply. :-)

How to install driver for Intel Pro 1000 PCI Network-card

Hello,
I just bought the a.m. Intel Pro 1000 Network adapter, but I don't know at all how to install the driver for Solaris 10.
The installation instructions delivered from Intel didn't help me at all, because I can't uncompress the INTCGigae.pkg and the INTCGigaE.tar.z files.
I copied them to /tmp and folllowed Intel's Installlation Instructions.
Please keep in mind I am new to Solaris 10, with no Linux/Unix experience, when helping me.
Thanks in advance for help and assistance.

Hi!
And what happens if you install the driver from the Toshiba WLAN portal:
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/wlan
I still dont know what you mean with Askey for Toshiba
You should try to install the driver manually. Choose in device manager the WLAN card, right click and select Update Driver. Choose the advanced installation where you can choose the driver directory yourself and navigate to the folder where you have stored the downloaded driver.

The Connect from Intel Pro/1000 T to 1000base-t Port on Catalyst 4000 (WS-X4412-2GB-T= module) Not Working Properly

The connect from Intel Pro/1000 T to 1000base-t port on Catalyst 4000 (WS-X4412-2GB-T= module) is not working properly. The Intel Pro/1000 T NIC connects to a 10/100 OK. Auto-negotiation is set at both ends. We can successfully ping across the link. However performance is so poor as to make the connection unusable.

When an Intel Pro/1000 T NIC is connected to a Catalyst switch, the customer may see poor network connections or excessive numbers of dropped packets. The problem arises when a module with a TBI interface transmits an odd byte packet to a receiver with a Gigabit Media Independent Interface (GMII).
The interoperability issue is a result of the implementation of Carrier Extension. Carrier Extension is detailed in sub section 35.2.3.5 in the IEEE 802.3 specification. Carrier Extension can be used to pad the last byte of a packet, so the packet is aligned on an even numbered boundary.

Intel pro/1000 CT Speed Issue

Has anyone experienced a drop to 10MBPS from 100MBPS using the Intel pro/1000 CT adapter on the Neo2 865P? If I manually set it to 100 MBPS it says "Network Cable Unplugged". Very strange since it was running at 100 MBPS for a week.

I can not force 100mbs either. It says Network cable unplugged when I try. here are my IRQs:

Lenovo/IBM 8113-d5u + Intel 945 + Intell Pro 1000 PM

We recently received some boxes from Lenovo part number 8113-d5u. They use
the Intell 945 chipset and have an integrated Intel Pro 1000 PM on a PCIE bus.
When we PXE boot it fails to find drivers for ethernet. This happens
during the loading of linux.2. We added e1000.ko to the list of drivers to
load in /etc/nwdriverList but this does not work.
Error message on PXE boot is:
"Unable to detect network card. Check documentation for list of supported
cards."
From dmesg when loading the e1000 module:
e1000: no version magic, tainting kernel.
Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Driver - version 5.6.10.1-k2
Copyright (c) 1999-2004 Intel Corporation.
This board is the first board we've had with a PCIE connected ethernet
controller.
We are using a modified PXE image (from Novell forge with SATA support),
but the same error happens on the vanilla one from Novell.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Unsure if you mean the same as we have here using IBM T60 and M52, added
the latest intel driver to our imaging environment and it worked. Trying
to load to forge but can't see where to load. Using Zfd 4 SP6.
I had to build a Linux box to create the driver file, used Redhat 7.3 so
that we had an old version of GCC to compile.
Drop me an email if you want me to send our linux.1 and linux.2 or just
the e1000.o
Remove the __ to email me
Thanks
Steve Gardiner

P35 Platinum - Intel PRO 1000 MT Network Adapter problem

Greetings.
Found out very strage thing - installation of "Intel PRO 1000 MT Network Adapter" in any PCI slot disabled onboard Intel raid controller! :(
If this card installed Intel Matrix Storage Manager screen do not appear in boot process and Raid do not listed in Boot Sequence bios options, instead
I can see Network Adapter in this list. I tryed "Boot from othe devices" option, bus it not work too.
So with this adapter installed I'm not able to boot from raid.
Currently I use bios version 1.4
Any idea how to solve this?
P.S. Installation of old 3COM 3C905CX-TX-M Adapter did not have such effect, but there is no Win x64 drivers for it.

Hi Maesus,
Thanks, I did and filled information about my computer configuration.
Hope it'll help solve the problem.
AaronYuri, thans go reply.
But maybe it's some misundestanding - when I say that installation of Intel adapter in PCI slot "disabled onboard Intel raid controllr" it does not mean that raid controller disabled in bios settings - settings in "Integrated Peripherals->On-chip ATA devices" are the same (PCI IDE BusMaster = Enabled, Raid mode = RAID), but it's looks like bios "did not see" raid controller - it disappers from list of devices to boot from and I did not see screen of Intel Matrix in boot proces (this screen alwais presents if controller switched in raid mode)

Pages and Numbers not sync between ipad and macbook pro. icloud problem?

My Pages and Numbers are stopped synchronizing via icloud between ipad and macbook pro. Everytime I edit something to Pages or Numbers on my ipad, my ipad failed to upload the edited version to icloud. what happened?

I have a slightly different problem with Numbers and Pages failing to sync between a Macbook and iPad via iCloud. I have checked all the obvious settings. I think the problem may be that the Macbook username is my email address, whereas the iPad username is my wife's email address. However, both addresses are named alibis for exactly the same email address from our internet provider – eg we get the same emails, despite appearing to have different addresses. So I don't understand why the iPad cannot pick up Numbers or Pages files that have been opened and saved in iCloud on my Macbook. Other apps, such as iCal, sync perfectly, but i guess they don't use iCloud. Any help appreciated!
(We have tried emailing Numbers files to the iPad, but that is very slow and innefective.)

How to synch calendars between iPad and MacBook Pro?

How do I synch calendars between iPad and MacBook Pro?

Thank you for your help. However, I still have no connection; could it be that the laptop is signed in through my account and the iPad through my wife's?
If so, must I delete her iCloud account and reestablish it as mine?
Thank you

Difference between Satellite and Satellite Pro L100

what is the difference between satellite and satellite pro? for example - satellite L100-175 and satellite pro L100-176?

Hi,
the difference between Satellite and Satellite Pro is the operating system:
Windows XP Home for Satellite
Windows XP Professional for Satellite Pro
The difference between the models L100-xxx is just the equipment.
For Example the CPU:
Sat L100-175: Core Duo T2500; 2.0 GHz
Sat Pro L100-176: Core Duo T2400; 1.83 GHz
For further details look in the specs of the models.
Bye

Re: Intel PRO/1000 PT Quad Port / xserve, osx 10.8.2 and intel gigabit quad port LP card

Share iTunes library between Tiger and XP Pro?

I just recently got windows XP running on my macbook. I have already imported all my music (as unprotected MP3's) in iTunes for Mac. Since hard drive space will be slim for Windows, I would like to have iTunes for windows use the same library as iTunes for Mac. I'm running MacDrive 7 and iTunes-Windows sees everything just fine, but I have MacDrive set to make my Mac partition read only so as not to corrupt it. This makes iTunes-Windows unhappy. Is there any way to make this work?

Just for your info, Vista ***** whatever you try to do. I'm stuck with Vista on a pre-installed laptop. All experience I have from Vista is bad, don't buy Vista or a computer with preinstalled Vista if you can avoid it.
We have three computers in a home network, one Macbook Pro, one PC with Windows XP, and the Vista laptop. All are using iTunes-8, downloaded and installed last week.
Sharing iTunes libraries using the option to share libraries on a local network works fine between Mac and Windows-XP. The sharing also works fine between the XP and the Vista PC.
But the Vista PC can't access the Mac iTunes library. When trying to open the Mac library, iTunes on the Vista computer says something like "Fetching library info from...". It's the same problem when trying to access the Vista library from the Mac.
We had a similar problem when trying to access shared folders on the local network. Thanks to a tip on this forum how to tweak the Vista registry, the shared folder problem was solved.
I'm think some registry setting in Vista might solve iTunes shared library problems. Maybe some Windows freak knows how to patch the registry to solve this issue.
Otherwise the solution is to trash Vista, and install Windows-XP.

Difference between Tekton and Tekton Pro?

Hi,
I'm aware that Adobe's "Pro" designation means that the font contains all the necessary glyphs to set European languages. But that's not what I'm asking.
We have a client for whom we're preparing a book. We've been using Tekton Pro (Bold and Regular). We sent a PDF proof to the client and they say that they meant the old Tekton (not Pro--rather, the postscript version). I've tried to compare the two, but it's very difficult online.
My question is: is there a difference in the actual form of the letters between the old Tekton and Tekton Pro?
(In the case of Garamond and Garamond Premier Pro there is a significant difference between the shapes of some letters, for example.)
Thanks,
Ariel

Hi Neil,
As far as I understood, our firm's client's concern was that the font looked
different (reflow not being an issue in this case because it's used for a
main heading only).
Anyway, I went into the office (a rarity in these days of telecommuting) to
investigate. The outcome is that somehow or other one of the graphics people
managed to switch Tekton for some variant of Times. Good grief! No wonder
the client sounded concerned; I'm impressed that they managed to remain so
polite about it, actually.
I think you're right about there generally not being a difference between
the PS and Pro versions of Adobe fonts. I would be interested to hear more
insight into this point.
I seem to have three Adobe Garamond's on the computer. The old Adobe
Garamond PostScript and Adobe Garamond Pro: these two seem identical, and a
full alphabet also sets the same width.
On the other hand, Adobe Garamond Premier Pro seems to be essentially
different, though very similar, font. It sets differently, and unless I'm
imagining things, the x-height is slightly shorter, plus all the strokes
seem slight thicker.
This adds support to the theory that a regular Adobe PS font is identical to
its Pro namesake except for some added glyphs. Perhaps that is why Adobe
Garamond Premier was actually given a different name.
Regards,
Ariel
