6506 Connectivity Problems

[ttercero]

I have a 6506 with a WS-X6148-GE-TX module and two servers running my Windows Active Directory. These two servers have 10/100 Ethernet Cards, and for some reason we are loosing connectivity to them. We have tried hardcoding the speed and duplex settings on both sides (Switch Port and Server Ethernet card) but same result.

Any suggestions as to what the problem could be?

I have checked the ports statitics and everything looks ok, neither I see any strange message at the console, all the sudden the servers loose IP connectivity

Have you tried changing the patch cord as well ? Have you tried chaging the servers to some other ports and see if they have the same problem.

See if you facing this issue.

Also, I agree with the other post....I would swap out the patch cables. Does this happen at random or is there any type of pattern? Do you servers have a second NIC? you could try and move over to the second NIC. Also try another port and see if it follows the server or if it is port related.

Hope this helps,
