VIF state broken, 5.3.7R3 on F540
Hi!

We've got 2 F540 filers, one running Data ONTAP 5.3.4, the other Data
ONTAP 5.3.7R3 (latest version for F540). I'm trying to set up both
filers with VIF multi (trunking) for faster network connection on a
Cisco 3548 switch. On 5.3.4 everything working just fine following SAG.
When following the same steps on 5.3.7R3 the following occur:

Mediatype changes between 100tx-fd-down and 100tx-fd-up. On the switch
the same thing happens, link is up and down. And there are ofcourse no
network connection at all!
Have I done anything wrong/ forgotten something or is it as simple as
software bug?


PS, on ower three F760's this is working just fine using 6.2R2!
