I would expect it to. I've never tested that particular device though.

@w0w
Thank you for the hints.

Update on this can be found here: https://www.netgate.com/8300-bmc-firmware-update

You should be able to upgrade this in the field though.

@jackhicks121 I've got this connected and the 40G QSFP+ to 4 x 10G SFP+ Passive DAC cable works like a charm.

Thanks

Those are the internal ix NICs that connect to the switch, ix2 and ix3. That new card will appear as ixl0 and ixl1. You should see them in Interfaces > Assignments.

@bseballjon9 said in Netgate 6100 help:

If there is a way to keep those choices AFTER install, I would recommend that for the newer installer.

Yes, this is an often requested feature that most users expect to happen. It's coming in a new installer version.

@stephenw10

I have now received what should be the correct NVME but I’m now no longer getting console.

I’ve raised a ticket with netgate to see if it’s recoverable.

Thanks for your help

You can get a 22.05 recovery image but that was the last version that built for it. You should still be able to upgrade to that too.

Sorry I typo'd one of the tags. I sent you a new config. I tested it here on a 7100 and it boots as expected.

@stephenw10

done

No in ix3 there should be speed settings available in the interface config.

You were booting from eMMC? Was it installed ZFS?

Steve

@stephenw10 Shazammm! Worked and last known configuration is back! Will clean-up /tmp. Many Thanks!!!

Do a clean re-install:

If you're really concerned you could also zero out the target from the installer:

No there is only one physical space to hold a card. So even thought the CPIC card doesn't require external port access it still needs the physical support to hold it.

Steve

Mmm, Ok probably can't see link rate to negotiate it. It might be possible to force it to 1G. Anyway good to know either way. 👍
