Managed switch, yes.
But then I tried this. Typing:
ethtool --change eth0 speed 1000 duplex full autoneg on
DID work! But I wonder why it didn't pick up on that automagically.
But then that wouldn't have worked either.
Hmmm. Why not? It did on my other servers.
Mii-tool does some of the same things but won't show/force 1000BaseT. Also, you can put ETHTOOL_OPTS=... in your ifcfg-eth? files if you need to force something odd.
Great! Thanks for the tips. Take care.
