One-way communication on port

(1/1)

jameshaworth:
Hello,

We have several Linux servers connected to our D-Link DES-1252 switches.

Occasionally, we will find we cannot SSH or Ping to a server. The activity light on the port blinks as normal but we cannot reach it.

The solution is to change ports, which instantly restores connectivity.

I reset the statistics on the D-Link and this is what the statistics on the port look like when the problem occurs:

TX
OutOctets 0
OutUcastPkts 0
OutNUcastPkts 0
OutErrors 0
LateCollisions 0
ExcessiveCollisions 0
InternalMacTransmitErrors 0 RX
InOctets 466170
InUcastPkts 0
InNUcastPkts 7201
InDiscards 0
InErrors 0
FCSErrors 0
FrameTooLongs 0
InternalMacReceiveErrors 0

As you can see, nothing is being transmitted to the server.

Can anyone suggest why this may be happening?

Fatman:
duplex setting shown on the switch and server?

jameshaworth:
Duplex setting is Auto on the switch and forced at 100mbps on the Linux server.

Fatman:
If you lock down a full duplex setting on one side you must lock down a full duplex setting on the other side or you will get a duplex mismatch.  If you can only lock down on one side, you must use half duplex.  Try setting both sides to autonegotiate.

jameshaworth:
Ok, I'll give that a go.

Thanks.
