10Gbits NIC problem

haithabu84

Ok, i found some wierd things... that is the moment in the system.log when i switch LAN from igb1 to ixl2:

system.txt.txt

After that i tried a factory reset. Since that, something goes horrible wrong on the machine. The web interface is very slow and sometimes i become timeouts. Tomorrow i try a clean install and than i submit more logs/outputs.

@stephenw10 Ok. I have done an totally clean install and configured igb1 as WAN, ixl2 directly as LAN after install. Doesnt work.

Output ifconfig ixl2:

no carrier... but why? I see activity over the LEDs on the NIC. I dont understand that.

it's possible that the card is unable to auto-negotiate to 10gb or/because of unsupported sfps

OK. I found out the Problem. The Switch-Stack has deactivated the Fiber-Ports from the pfsense. I have no idea why. After enabling, it works. But its ridiculous, i have seen active link leds...

But i have another question: How works LACP with ixl NICs? I read some old bug reports from 2018 that there are some troubles. Like:

https://forum.netgate.com/topic/141319/vlan-interfaces-does-not-came-up

https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/9453

After a own try, same problems.

lagg0: IPv6 addresses on ixl2 have been removed before adding it as a member to prevent IPv6 address scope violation.
lagg0: IPv6 addresses on ixl3 have been removed before adding it as a member to prevent IPv6 address scope violation.

Is there now an solution?

The only thing that i found as solution is, to use Failover Mode in Lagg. But not an optimal solution.

Thanks

That is not an error that should prevent the lagg coming up, it's expected if you have IPv6 addresses there.

Neither of those links are relevant to ixl specifically. I would expect that to work.

There is an open issue with vlans on ixl: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/9123
Since you're not adding vlans directly you may not see that anyway. I assume you're not seeing that error.

@stephenw10 But how can i bring up my lagg? I have nowhere configured IPv6 addresses. I have unchecked the Box "Allow IPv6" under System/Advanced/Networking... but my NIC has still an net6 address...

ifconfig -vvm ixl2

                media 1000baseLX
                media 1000baseSX

I want later to use VLANs on that LAGG. But when this Bug still exists, i will use without.

stephenw10

How have you configured the lagg? You see it showing in ifconfig -v lagg0?

If not can we see screenshots of the config from the webgui.

@stephenw10 I found the Problem: On the Switch i have configured a static LAG, wich not well supported für Bonding. My Fault.

After Configure a dynamic LAG and enable the Interfaces, it works. But not for long. I have the same Problem in the Link from Bug 9123. When i add some VLANs to the LAG interface, i become

aq_add_macvlan err -53, aq_error 14

often in Relation with a hanging queue. Then i tried FAILOVER Mode, but same error occurs.

After compiling the last i40e-Driver from Intel with FreeBSD 11.2 has solved the Problem.

did you try to spam and forgot to put link to some non sense website ?

Yeah that is a spammer, doing a per-emptive strike on that... Nonsense post from India IP - 99.999999% likely hood of freaking spammer.

What he posted is a direct copy from a website.. It's like they search for some key words, copy paste what they find and then try and add some nonsense link in it..
