Hello,
I have connected one of 4 NIC's on an ESX Hypervisor 5 Server to the nexus 2000 above.
The Nic reports that it is down but when I connect the nic to another switch it works fine.
A laptop connected to the nexus works fine.
I'd appreciate it if someone could offer a suggestion as to whether the is aditional/specific configuration tasks required on the nexus to get the esx nic working?
Thanks,
Don

Hi Don,
Have you tried manually setting the nic's speed/duplex?
Can you post a "show fex detail", "show int ethX/X/X", "sh run int ethX/X/X" for the affected port?
