From: Vinny_Abello () Dell com [mailto:Vinny_Abello () Dell com] Just ran into that exact problem with Cisco Nexus 2232TM-E FEX's. They only do 10Gb/1Gb and won't step down to 100Mb. Couldn't connect some newer gear's Ethernet management ports to the management network as a result and have to get a different model FEX like the 2248TP-E just for that. The devices in question are current generation too and only support 100Mb for the management ports. My question was less about why the 2232TM-E's couldn't step down to 100Mb, but rather why in this day and age do we have something that doesn't do 1Gb, even on a management port?
It's not just you guys at Dell. HP are still doing the same thing with iLO ports (for dedicated iLO ports anyway, shared ports (which are a whole new level of WTF were you thinking?) are normally 1gb and will operate just fine at that connection rate). Jamie
