Netgate 6100 and Intel I225/I226

cdturri

Hi, I saw this article the other day about connectivity issues with the Intel I225/I226 chipset, which the Netgate 6100 uses for it's 2.5G ports. Is the Netgate 6100 impacted by this issue? What action do users need to take? Thanks

The 6100 and 4100 use the i225-v Rev3 (B3) NIC chips which are not affected by that. I've never seen that sort of connection issue in any of the testing I've done.
