QNAP QXG-2G2T-I225 Dual Port 2.5GbE, how to change port properties/settings?

buggz · Feb 3, 2024, 12:30 AM

Hello,

How do you change the Ethernet adapter port properties like all the setting available in windoze?
Is this possible?
How do you lock the Ethernet ports in pfsense?
In linux there is ethtool.
Is there a comparable tool in pfsense, or a better way?

I am having problems with this card when I disconnect the cable for testing, etc.
Also when I change the adapter settings in the WAN, or LAN setup pages.
I HAVE to reboot to get the port working again.
Seems something to do with power properties, as when I hit the power button to shutdown, the ping then returns.
Works okay again, AFTER reboot.

Sigh, very frustrating...

What setting are you trying to change?

What is logged when it fails to connect?

What does ifconfig -vvvma show?

@stephenw10
Thank you for your reply!

I just want to disable any power savings properties for the ports on this card that it may have.
Seems I don't have to lock the port speed, as autoselect appears to work.

Though, I do want to enable jumbo frames, and I guess enable an MTU of 9000?

I see there are lots of options available:

In fact the igc driver only supports autoselect for link speed. If you select one of the other speeds it only limits the available negotiation rates to that one speed. It will not link to a device that doesn't have link negotiation enabled.

You probably want to look at the system tunables / sysctls:

Hello,

Thank you for your reply!

Having secured a console, I can now see that dmeg is report LAN port link state changes constantly from UP to DOWN.
The WAN port doesn't do this.

At this time, I can't get a good state fro LAN to login via the web interface.
Kind of stuck, I really don't wish to re-install...

stephenw10 · Feb 3, 2024, 4:03 PM

Hmm, what is the LAN connected to?

Try running pciconf -lv igc0 what revision is shown? You want at least rev3 with the i225-V.

buggz · Feb 3, 2024, 4:52 PM

@stephenw10 said in QNAP QXG-2G2T-I225 Dual Port 2.5GbE, how to change port properties/settings?:

pciconf -lv igc0

igc0@pci0:4:0:0:	class=0x020000 rev=0x03 hdr=0x00 vendor=0x8086 device=0x15f2 subvendor=0x1baa subdevice=0xc002
    vendor     = 'Intel Corporation'
    device     = 'Ethernet Controller I225-LM'
    class      = network
    subclass   = ethernet

igc1@pci0:7:0:0:	class=0x020000 rev=0x03 hdr=0x00 vendor=0x8086 device=0x15f2 subvendor=0x1baa subdevice=0xc002

All is good now, I guess it was a corruption from removing a 4 port Intel 1GB adapter, installing this one, and reassigning the ports.
At first, I was thinking, wow, magic, as it seemed to amazing work so easy.
I just reset from the console, and went through the configuration settings in the web menus.
Shrug, I am familiar with the setup settings as I use, so, not so bad.

Thank you very much for your help!

buggz · Feb 3, 2024, 5:06 PM

Perhaps spoke too soon...
Sigh, now the WAN port?
I see the physical WAN LED link state going OFF/ON.
Not as bad as the LAN port was previously doing?
While it is working, I see a massive repeating sequence of events flood from the console.
This is reflected via dmesg output:

DOH!

My fault, I missed ONE setting setting up after reset!

snort was set to WAN, changed to LAN, no flood.
Was wondering what all the strange snort traffic I have never seen before was...
