Dear All, I've moved my lovely server to the datacenter and now pulling my hair out while trying to understand why both of /dev/igb interfaces aren't picking up Ethernet connection on boot. Tested with both 10.3-REL and 11.0-REL. On the other end it's connected into Dlink DES-1210-52 switch.
When system is booted, running `ifconfig | grep status` over iKVM returns: status: no carrier status: no carrier However, after `/etc/rc.d/netif restart && /etc/rc.d/routing restart` it picks up the cable which is connected to one of the ports. Both interfaces are Intel I210AT integrated in the MB. For the moment being, the only solution I see is to create a separate script in /etc/rc.d and restart netif/routing after boot is completed. Could this be a problem specific to onboard interfaces?.. I was using this particular box in other environment without any similar problems on 10.0-REL. Output from `ifconfig` when one of the interfaces is up: igb0: flags=8c02<BROADCAST,OACTIVE,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 options=6403bb<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,JUMBO_MTU,VLAN_HWCSUM,TSO4,TSO6,VLAN_HWTSO,RXCSUM_IPV6,TXCSUM_IPV6> ether 00:00:00:00:00:00 nd6 options=29<PERFORMNUD,IFDISABLED,AUTO_LINKLOCAL> media: Ethernet autoselect status: no carrier igb1: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 options=6403bb<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,JUMBO_MTU,VLAN_HWCSUM,TSO4,TSO6,VLAN_HWTSO,RXCSUM_IPV6,TXCSUM_IPV6> ether 00:00:00:00:00:00 inet 111.111.111.111 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 111.111.111.255 inet 111.111.111.112 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 111.111.111.255 nd6 options=29<PERFORMNUD,IFDISABLED,AUTO_LINKLOCAL> media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>) status: active lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 16384 options=600003<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,RXCSUM_IPV6,TXCSUM_IPV6> inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x3 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 nd6 options=21<PERFORMNUD,AUTO_LINKLOCAL> groups: lo # uname -a [FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE #0 r306211: Thu Sep 22 21:43:30 UTC 2016 r...@releng2.nyi.freebsd.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64] _______________________________________________ freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-net-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
