SG135 with Intel X553 doesn't support half duplex mode?

Simon Boyd

Hi all

 

We have recently purchased a SG135 to replace an aging UTM 120 but are having issues connecting it to our incoming modem.  The modem (supplied by the ISP) uses 100base T/Half and it appears the SG135 does not have this mode.

 

Can anyone else with an SG box and this model NIC please confirm if theirs supports half duplex.

 

Thanks very much.

 

Simon

    Hi Simon,

    Have you edited the NIC and unselected 'Auto negotiation'?  I just checked two clients with 135.r1 and 100/Half is available on both.   Which rev of SG 135 do you have?  You can see that with the following at the command line: version|grep Hardware

    Cheers - Bob

    Thanks Bob,

    Yes, we unselected Auto Negotiation and the only options were all Full Duplex.  Sophos support have since confirmed that this particular NIC (Intel X553) doesn't support half duplex.  We have a 135 rev 3.

    We have solved by putting a small 4 port unmanaged switch between the modem and UTM.

    Cheers
