X520 errors in 2.6 and 22.01?
-
Mmm, it's nice to see all zeros but those numbers wouldn't really worry me especially if they are not climbing steadily. 83 pkts could be a momentary glitch in something.
Here's my edge box:
Note the errors on the WIFI interface. That's an actual WIFI NIC and you expect to see errors.
All the others are actually VLANs over a LAGG of igb NICs. Those errors likely happened when the lagg was coming up or the switch was rebooted etc.Steve

Thanks for the info.
Quick followup; is there a difference between Errors In and Errors Out when it comes to worrying about a potential issue?
-
Well errors in could be a cable issue or dirt on the optics etc. That would not normally cause errors out which imply it's unable to send for some reason. SFP over-heated etc. Though in my case it's probably just that the parent interfaces was down.

i also have the same problem after upgrading to 2.6. with the sysctl command I found that the errors are associated with this:
mac_stats.checksum_errs: 41177
it's annoying and I'd like to fix it.
-
So you definitely didn't see those errors in 2.5.2?
41177 is very different to 3170, what makes you think they are related?
Do you have checksum hardware off-loading enabled?
Steve
-
The image is after a reboot. Never an error with the 2.5.2 . The "Hardware Checksum Offloading" is enable by default.
-
Ok, so before that the checksum error count matched?
Try disabling checksum off-loading.
Steve
-
Yes, the value is the same. I tried to disable "Hardware Checksum Offloading" but it didn't work.
thank you for the support
-
Like it didn't disable it or just didn't change the error count?
The errors could be genuine of course. Perhaps the updated driver is now reflecting the correct values.

With a VM i compiled the latest driver ("if_ix.ko" ver3.3.29) for freebsd 12.3 and I put it in the pfsense, but I got nothing!
Any idea?
-
I'm not sure how helpful this will be, but it looks like there were several updates made to the Intel drivers in FreeBSD 12.3 (look under Drives):

The issue might be upstream from pfSense.

^?
Does it show your new driver was correctly loaded at boot? If not does it show an error?
-
The driver is loaded correctly. I think the driver is not the real problem. If it can help, my switch is a hp/aruba JL261A. In the next few days I will try to install some fiber optic transceivers. -

It didn't get disabled or it didn't affect the error count?
-
@stephenw10 Can't speak for @cescofs but all that stuff is disabled on my end:
My error count is relatively small at 1105 with 5 days of uptime and passing through 464GiB of data but it's still higher than the 0 on 2.5.2
-
Mmm, that's a very small number really though. That would not concern me.
Is that still rising? That could all have been when the interface came up for example.Steve
-
@stephenw10
After disabling it, the errors were still there.
Since there are no errors in the output, the drivers should be excluded as a cause. -
@stephenw10 right after booting i had 83 errors. The current count grew a little every day for the last 5 days.

@tom-ato
it's the same for me -
I found this ....
