Hi Kevin.

Ok. I'll try that.

Hi Kevin.

No DHCP. The box gets a static address. From rc.conf:

ifconfig_em0="inet aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd netmask 255.255.252.0 media 1000baseTX"

as you see, I also tried to use a fixed speed (both on the server
NIC and the switch port) instead of autoconfiguration, but it
doesn't help.

try adding an "up" in there.
ifconfig_em0="up inet aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd netmask 255.255.252.0 media 1000baseTX"
