Has anyone connected an IP600 to a Cisco 6500?
Everything works great when connected to a Cajun P333T.
However when connected to the cisco the c-lan shows disconnected. I have eliminated the Cabling, and ports on the Cisco but the C-Lan still shows disconnected.

Please, any ideas!

Ensure that you have hard coded the speed on the Cisco Catalyst on the the IP600, the CLAN card is known to have some autonegotiation issues with different switches.

You should always hard code the duplex and speed settings when linking to servers and networking infrastructure devices.

Thanks, that was what the issue was. When we set the Port to 10M everything kicked-off!
We are experiencing some intermittent behaviour though i think it is a quality of service issue.

What is the Hardware and Firmware version of the card, you may need a most most recent release of the card. Watch the link status on the card and ensure that the link is being maintained. Also disable any 'QoS' settings or tagging that you set on the CLan and MedPro, let the Catalyst tag the ports. Then once you've done that run some ping tests from the Catalyst to the CLan and MedPro, sending like 2000 pings of 1000 bit packets and ensure that you are not getting any weird results. If this is working fine then you have an issue with 'QoS" on you LAN/WAN. Thank you,
