Problem with autonegotiation

Sun Mar 02, 2014 2:38 pm

I have two routers connected, SXT-5HPnD and OmniTIK UPA-5HnD through ethernet interface with a crossover cable (female/female) and the corresponding power injectors.

RouterEthPort->Inyector->Crossover-cable->Inyector->RouterEthPort

Both interfaces are configured with auto negotiation and Full-duplex
In both interfaces no errors in the negotiation but only negotiate 10 Mbits.
The same has happened to me when I tried to do with two SXT.

Can it be that the crossover cable between both inhibit negotiation 100 Mbps?

Any idea?
Any help/idea is welcome!

PD. I remember that in one of the many tests done if instead of connecting directly through a switch do then YES trading speed 100 Mbits. For me it was important to make it work with the crossover cable because there arerouters that are in a remote location and the fewer equipment is less consumption and less points of failure.

PD2. Both routers have the last version (6.10)

PD3.If you manually set the speed to 100 Mbps on both sides, then the Ethernet link fails.

Try to use normal non crossed cable. There is no need for it.

Thanks por the reply. Using a normal cable the link is down always.

I have a question relating to the cable, is it possible that the cable used to power the router inhibit the auto-negotiation process?
The cable I use is the one provided by the manufacturer for the equipment.
All cables were tested.

The truth is that I am baffled by this case

Thanks.
