X520 errors in 2.6 and 22.01?

brachy33

Adding to this list, I have an Intel X550-T1 (WAN) in my Thinkserver ST50 connected to a Metronet ISP, Nokia-branded ONT with symmetrical 1Gb. The ONT, besides basic provisioning, is a media converter to copper ethernet. Have been running rock solid on 2.4/2.5 CE variants for years.

After fresh install to 2.6 CE, I too am getting errors on WAN IN only (intel x550-t1). Correlated this to sysctl dev.ix.0 and dev.ix.0.mac_stats.checksum_errs: 9. These 9 checksum errors match the WAN in errors. Of course the error count resets after reboot, hence the following code shows 0 chcksum errors for int ix0:

So far on ix0 int:

Disabled FC
Checked disabled hardware checksum offload
Verified int is running latest Intel driver (believe it's the latest - 4.0.1-k)
Checked latest firmware via Intel bootable update utility
swapped to multiple, new CAT6 patch cords including Commscope and Panduit (no cheap cords)
Bought a new X550-T1 card in case my previous card was dying.
Had Metronet provision a new Nokia G240G ONT and powersupply to no affect.

Lastly, I found the following on Intel's Download Center and it seems it couldn't be more applicable to my situation (Intel NIC, ONT, cksum errors):

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/19174/disabling-tcp-ipv6-checksum-offload-capability-with-intel-1-10-gbe-controllers.html

I've tried modifying INET6 settings via Shell command as per FreeBSD IFCONFIG:

-rxcsum, -txcsum, -rxcsum6, -txcsum6
	     If	the driver supports user-configurable checksum offloading,
	     disable receive (or transmit) checksum offloading on the inter-
	     face.  The	feature	can be turned off selectively per protocol
	     family.  Use -rxcsum6, -txcsum6 for ip6(4)	or -rxcsum, -txcsum
	     otherwise.	 These settings	may not	always be independent of each
	     other.

Still no changes and errors continue on WAN IN. To be fair, for ~100GiB data in I might have 6-10 errors. I have also now upgraded the 2.6CE to pfSense Plus ver 22.01 with yearly support package.

Apologies, not trying to hijack OP's thread but hoping
to share more data to the WAN ERRORS IN. Thanks.

Reporting the same on 2.6 with X557 NICs, all 'mac_stats.checksum_errs':

stephenw10

The difference here is that the ix driver in 2.6 includes all input errors in the mac stats value not just crc and length errors:
https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-src/commit/5574b12aac2bdfe66ec1d9564f932eeec9ac213c

So nothing has actually changed, you are just seeing the errors now that were previously not shown.

Also see: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/12904

If we don't have access to the other end of the cable (switch/server) we will never know if this errors are relevant or not ....

@stephenw10
I'm not convinced by your answer. I should have seen errors on all nics and in every direction.

stephenw10

Why? The errors could be on one NIC only. You just didn't see them reported in 2.5.2.

qfixxx

Just curious if anyone ever found anything that might explain the source of these errors?

simplepanda

Seeing something similar I think.

On my LAN interface (multiple VLANs via a 10G Intel/ix Interface) i get exactly 2 IN errors every 20 seconds.

It's 2 errors. It's every 20 seconds. Like clockwork. I can run gigabits of traffic through the firewall and it only ever increases by 2 input errors, only every 20 seconds.

What on earth could this be? Something on my LAN sending dodgy frames? Why every 20 seconds?

Is there anyway to get a pcap of the dropped / error frames?

stephenw10

Hmm, that's interesting.

You could probably catpure that by using a mirror port on the switch to reflect whatever it's sending.

@stephenw10 Yes, setting up to do that now. I assume it's my Ubiquiti switch. Cheap 10G switch = cheap 10G switch problems, I guess.

@simplepanda Curious what you see. I have a similar situation just not with fixed pattern. Mine is just a slow increment of ~50 errors every 24hrs on both WAN interfaces. I've got a USW-Flex-XG between the WAN NICs and the respective modems (AT&T and Spectrum).

@brachy33 said in X520 errors in 2.6 and 22.01?:

Any luck, with those in/out errors

Hate to be the latest "me too" but ..

Intel X550-T2 getting errors on both interfaces. ix1 which is connected to 10Gb port on my Aruba switch, there are no errors showing on the Aruba. If its as stephenw10 explained and just more counters being aggregated thats annoying.

Also, hoping for the day when my nic speed is correctly reported too. (this is a 2.5Gbps link to cable modem)

Those are present for X550 in 2.7:

@stephenw10 Thank you!

I was not able to track down and prevent IN errors with the X550-T2 (WAN1) and my MetroNet GPON regardless of firmware, settings, etc. So, as a test I bought a Chelsio T520-BT, flashed it to the latest firmware/ROM and reinstalled pfSense+. Have not had a single error (IN or OUT) since making that swap. To be fair, the Chelsio could also be seeing errors and the latest drivers, etc are just not 'showing' those errors within pfSense.

On the flip side, my Intel x710-T2 (LAN) connected via 10G Twinax to my Juniper 2300 started getting IN errors, albeit very slowly so. I would get several 100Gb of data through the network and then all of a sudden 3 errors would show IN, than 12, than 30. The errors ALWAYS increase in increments of 3. Now, these errors do not seem to correlate to the number of interrupts on this connection which do increase steadily AND the overall performance of the network has been rock-solid!

In speaking with the Netgate support team, it might be fruitless and an overall 'red herring' to go tracing down what is causing these LAN IN errors, especially when everything is working as it should.

But call me an OCD freak...I just don't like when there are network errors and I do not know where they're originating from.

three days post-2.6 > 2.7 update and have not seen any more of these errors, in nor out.
