      hi all!

      I've got a supermicro 5015A-EHF with 2x Intel 82574L Gigabit LAN, they show up as re0 and re1.  When I go to Status > Interfaces I get (on both interfaces):```
      In/out packets 0/0 (0 bytes/0 bytes)
      In/out packets (pass) 0/0 (0 bytes/0 bytes)
      In/out packets (block) 0/0 (0 bytes/0 bytes)
      In/out errors 0/0
      Collisions 0

      
      What can I do to verify that I'm getting errors on my end also?
      
      "ifconfig re0" not really helpful either
      

      re0: flags=8843 <up,broadcast,running,simplex,multicast>metric 0 mtu 1500
      options=389b <rxcsum,txcsum,vlan_mtu,vlan_hwtagging,vlan_hwcsum,wol_ucast,wol_mcast,wol_magic>ether 00:25:90:06:c6:60
      inet 21x.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask 0xfffffff0 broadcast 21x.xxx.xxx.xxx
      inet6 fe80::225:90ff:fe06:c660%re0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1
      nd6 options=43 <performnud,accept_rtadv>media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseT <full-duplex>)
      status: active</full-duplex></performnud,accept_rtadv></rxcsum,txcsum,vlan_mtu,vlan_hwtagging,vlan_hwcsum,wol_ucast,wol_mcast,wol_magic></up,broadcast,running,simplex,multicast>

          If they show up as re0 and re1, those are Realtek, not Intel.

          If there are no errors seen on Status > Interfaces, then there aren't any errors reported by the NIC driver.

          So either they are seeing received errors (could be a bad cable) or something else is wrong with the packets arriving there.

          I would first disable hardware checksums (System > Advanced, Networking tab) and see if that clears it up

            Something odd going on here. As JimP said the re(4) driver is for Realtek NICs so either you don't have a standard configuration 5015A-EHF or your Intel NICs are somehow attaching to the wrong driver.

              Either that or its a 5015A-H and not a EHF.      http://www.supermicro.com/products/system/1U/5015/SYS-5015A-H.cfm?typ=H

                ^ That. A Realtek driver can't attach to anything but Realtek, so if it reports re0/re1, you have Realtek NICs. Not Intel NICs.

                Still not entirely relevant to the main problem, aside from the Realtek NICs having a somewhat dubious reputation.

                  The key answer to the problem without opening the box..  is basically report back with the CPU.  i would beable to determine which board is in there given the information that was provided with about 98% accuracy.  the 2% would be because i had too much coffee this morning.  Bios will tell you

                    It seems that the ISP is no longer showing crc errors  ???

                    Also, it is the 5015a-h:  http://www.supermicro.com/products/system/1U/5015/SYS-5015A-H.cfm?typ=H sorry for being misleading (I have about 8 or so of those supermicros in the field)

                    I noticed that on another supermicro (which also has realtek nics), it has the same problem except that the RRD Data is working fine on that box.

                    Think its just a problem with the realtek drivers and nothing to worry about?

                    thanks for your replies!
