Duplex problem with inline card "WAN0" again

Jan Rockstedt
Level 1
Level 1

Hi,

We got duplex problem again "new site" for the inline port WAN0, LAN0 is ok.

We have tried crossover and straight through cable, without any look still 100/ half duplex.

The PTT router int fa0/0 have been to 100/full and auto/auto still 100 half in the WAE.

The WAE have been in 100/full, no link or auto/auto link but 100/half.

What can be the problem, as we have this issue with most of our 574 and 274, the 674 have have no problem at all?

Below are some output from the WAE and router.

PTT router:

Hi Jan,

If you are connecting Router to WAN0_0 port, you should use cross-over cable under most of the circumstances and unless you are using all gig interfaces on both sides. This will avoid any hardware limitations due to non-Auto-MDIX supported hardware.

Cisco strongly recommend that you do not use half-duplex connections on the WAE or on routers, switches, or other devices.

You will find more information here: Cabling

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/app_ntwk_services/waas/wae/module/inline/installation/guide/17880fru.html#wp39911

Further, there is a possibility that the interface on Router / WAE inline adapater / cable might be bad. I would suggest following in that case.

1. Using a new cross-over / stright cable. if the issue continues, proble lies on the interface sides.

2. Using a different port on router. if the issue continues, problem is with WAN0_0 port of WAE.

3. Try connecting wan0_0 port to another switch / router to see if it negotiates at full duplex. If it still continues at half duplex, there is an issue with WAN0_0 port most probably.

4. Try connecting secondary gig port or WAN0_1 port to same router interface. If the issue continues, problem may be with router FA0/0 interface.

If you find that issue is with either router / WAE inline interface, please open a TAC case for RMA.

Hope this helps.

Regards.
