Pfsense 22.05 ix driver vs intel-ix-kmod.

Is there any way to capture / log this broken packages and determin from which device they´re coming from?
Otherwise I will change a few configuration steps what I have in mind and let you be updated.

No, not easily. Those are usually discarded by the driver/hardware before a packet capture can see them. Can you see any stats from the switch port? Try a different switch?

soo took a long time to replace and try everything and I got an update:

If I connect the Swirtport from the x550 to a switch which is capable of 10G switching I do not get this errors but when I use the same switch and modify the advertising speeds to only up to 1G the problems reappear.
So it seems like that it has something todo with the 1G speed.

So far no problem with a brand new switch and 10G networking so thanks for your help here for the tip :)

Kind regards,

Hmm, that sounds more like a flow-control issue. I assume it actually links at 1G when you limit the switch port to that?

[sysadminfromhell]

@stephenw10 yes when i limit the speed it connects via 1G Full Duplex then.

@stephenw10 nevermind they´re back. now up to 54 now. But I can´t figure out where it comes from then. I can replace the network card maybe and try the other x550 I have laying around.
But other then that I only can try a different cable. It can´t be the switch because the other port goes into the same switch just on a different vlan and there is no problem. Same cable (manufacturer and "model") same age.

Any other idea?

[stephenw10]

Bad switch port?

[sysadminfromhell]

@stephenw10 hi so I switched the port for now let’s see. But the switch doesn’t report any errors on tx or rx. So I don’t know :(

[sysadminfromhell]

@stephenw10 i figured it out!
So I recently switched from my old Access Point where I notices something: The "old" access point registered at the old and the new switch with "root-Port" so I guess it has something todo with it because when I removed it completly from my network everything works now.
No Errors in or out anymore.

I guess this sattles my problem for now!

If anyone has some similar Problems: I used the Netgate EAX 80 (AX6000) Wifi Extender in Access Point mode.

Kind regards

Nice catch! Odd though, I wouldn't have expected those errors to reach pfSense.
