I've seen the same behavior with a Catalyst 2948G. My servers weren't
experiencing any problems, and appeared to be connecting at 100/Full -
despite what the Fluke reports. If I recall correctly, the 2948s use the
same software base as the 4000s - I've written it off as a software
incompatibility between the 2948/4000 code and the Fluke.
I did a cursory search of Cisco's bug reports, but found nothing related.
My advice is to ignore the auto-negotiate between the 4000 and the Fluke.
