    <description>&lt;P class=""&gt;Hi all,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P class=""&gt;I got a few ESX Hosts in a Cluster. We latelty migrated to new ToR Switches. On first NIC which is an ALOM Card (Qlogic) i only get 25gig if I configure 25gig as duplex speed. On Second NIC which is an Mellanox i only get 25gig if i configure Auto Negotiate. For Both Same Settings on Switch Port are dependent.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P class=""&gt;ESXi Version is 7.03c. Has anyone expirienced a behavior like this or has any advise if there could be any problems running with this config?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P class=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;From a host perceptive there is no problem running one card at Auto Negotioation and the other as static duplex as long they have the same uplink speed.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;However, there is not a generally a good idea to aggregate uplinks with mixed brands and settings.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;As long as the nics are supported, it might be possible. Keep an eye on firmware and driver, to have the right combination. check&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/1003685" target="_blank"&gt;https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/1003685&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;But I would avoid running this config for longer, because the chance to have issues on one of the driver/firmware combination is higher.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
