Default Re: Can someone explain to me what this mean?

"Do you have the web gui enable, you could try to set speed and duplex setting of the interface using this web gui."

I thought it is always a BAD idea to set speed/duplex via the web GUI.
Furthermore, there is a bug in R65 HFA_02 that these setting will NOT be
retained after a reboot. Maybe our senior member Ray can confirm this.

"also would like to recommend trying auto neg on both the switch and fw, but after applying autoneg always check speed and duplex setting on the switch and the fw."

Another bad idea, IMHO. Cisco and other vendors ALWAYS recommend that
devices should always be hard code with speed/duplex and that the same
thing go with the switchport as well, except when you have copper Gig
interface. For Fast Ethernet interface, always hard code the speed/duplex
on both the firewall devices and switchport.
