Try swapping the fiber strands on both sides (take the receive port on the 5500 and swap it with the transmit port on the 5500, then do the same thing on the 3550 side). Then try your transmissions again and let us know.
Good luck,
Ken

Subject: RE: Strange trunking issue
One of the hosts is running Solaris, (hostB), while HostA is a Linux (ReHat) machine. I've also put another Solaris host onto the 5500, with the same effect.
I've used a packet sniffer to check for windowing (or rather, for continuous changes in the windowing) and everything appears normal. I'm not seeing excessive traffic, or changes in the window sizes.
All hosts are running at 100 Mbs Full duplex. I've played around with auto settings on each switch, and still have the same result.
The mtu on both is 1500, and (using a packet sniffer) I've checked the packet size of the FTP data. This is 1518, which is correct? (to include the headers etc?)
Both hosts are in the same VLAN.
This is doing my head in!

Subject: RE: Strange trunking issue
What are the hosts running, Windows/ linux? What are the host uplinks,
10/100? The host connected to the 5500 may be overrunning the 5500's port
buffer. Capture some packets on the 5500 size and watch for the windowing
size to continuously change and the host to retransmit. Newer versions of
Windows like XP are defaulting to 64K window sizes and causing port buffer
issues with older gear. Some versions of Red Hat have difficulty negotiating
this too.

So now put the Host B on the 3550, and see if the problem exists. Any
chance it's an MTU issue? Are A and B in the same VLAN? If not, who's
routing, the 3550?

Hiya
Thanks for the input. I moved hostB onto the 5500, and the problem
disapeared. I put it back onto the 3550, and the same problem exists

Your assuming you have a switching problem accross the trunk. Plug host
B into the 5500 and see if you still have the problem.
