This is where I would say you are right. But in the past we have had several incidents of the servers and cisco switches such as 2924, 2950, 3548, negotiating the wrong duplex. I am not sure if it is the switch or the server who sets the speed incorrectly, I guess that depends on how you look at it. So we have gone to forcing the switch and the server to the same speed and duplex. I guess I could force the switch to half duplex like the server wants, but now it is a matter of I would like to know how to make the darn DL360 G2 boot to full duplex like the older DL360 G1s do on boot.

Well, you could set up an ifup-post instead of rc.local -- but Jeff is right, just set up autonegotiate, don't force the ports not to negotiate.
