I225 NIC Interface Dashboard Question
-
I just got a machine for home use off of AliExpress that supposedly has the Intel I225 NIC in it for 2.5 Gbps speeds. I ran "pciconf -lv" and it appears the hardware there: "device = 'Intel(R) Ethernet Controller I225-V'". I have no 2.5 Gbps devices at the moment, so I was wondering if the dashboard's display for each interface of "1000baseT <full-duplex>" is a reflection of what is currently hooked up or if it should be showing 2500baseT and I have a misconfiguration somewhere.

Dashboard always shows currently established speeds. And thats very helpful when troubleshooting cable and NIC issues. If your appliance has I225-V chips, rest assuerd you have 2.5Gbps capable NICs. Just make sure you use good cables and NICs that are 2.5Gbps capable. Or faster. :)

Whatever you have hooked up is ONLY capable of a gigabit speed, whether your modem, or computer.

Yeah, it shows the current link. You can see the available link types the NIC supports in the speed/duplex drop down in the interface config. Or
ifconfig -vm igc0at the command line.Steve
