Hmm, nothing jumps out there. I assume nothing was logged?

If you're able to test it in FreeBSD current that would be a good test as the driver there is slightly newer and has a few patches.

Ah, so it does actually appear to lose link. Are you sure it's not doing so because of, for example, a bad cable?

skzs012 · Dec 9, 2021, 8:31 PM

@stephenw10

unfortunately i rule out the cable error since i tried with a CAT-6 factory cable 1.5m and tried with a cat5-e cable it's not good unfortunately and even I made a cable with the same problem.

stephenw10 · Dec 9, 2021, 8:41 PM

Ok, well I would be confirming it still fails in FreeBSD current at this point then. If it fails in the latest code we can open an upstream bug (if one does not already exist).

skzs012 · Dec 9, 2021, 8:47 PM

@stephenw10 I'm still trying a few things for that!
I try to plug the NIC into a 1Gb / s port to see if it still produces the error.
What I noticed is that I have a upload speed and the connection doesn't stop at 1198Mb / s Upload

So there's just something wrong with downloading

stephenw10 · Dec 9, 2021, 8:49 PM

OK good to know. You did disable the checksum offloading as detailed earlier? I just realised I'm not sure we checked.

skzs012 · Dec 9, 2021, 8:54 PM

@stephenw10 yes i banned but it didn't change

stephenw10 · Dec 9, 2021, 9:31 PM

OK, pretty much need to test the current code in FreeBSD then.

Just wanted to check in here and let you all know I was able to get a 2.5Gb card with a I225V chipset working in my Netgate XG-7100 running 21.05.2. I think the issue you guys are hitting is the cards you're using are I225-LM chipsets and not I225V chipsets. Obviously the fact that I'm using a Netgate appliance means my solution might not work for you, but I'm guessing the I225V chipset support is the same in 2.5.2 as it is in 21.05.2. @stephenw10 correct me if I'm wrong about this.

For more information on my setup and the card I used, see this thread.

Netgear CM2050v -->Netgate XG-7100 2.5Gbs card (input) --SFP+ DAC (output) --->Unfi SFP+ port on my switch

n1ck31 · Dec 10, 2021, 5:05 AM

@mael I'm thinking that might be the problem here.

I'm going to be buying this: https://www.fs.com/products/101476.html and using my tested stable X520 NIC

Theoretically this should work:

2.5G WAN Modem -> FS Converter (2.5G IN) -> FS Converter (10G SFP+ Out) -> Intel X520-DA2

It's not a cheap solution compared to the QNAP card, but it should work stabley.

Option 2 is buying a Netgear unmanaged 2.5G switch with a 10G SFP and putting that between my modem and firewall, but that's 500 CAD instead of 250 CAD.

@skzs012
It looks like we have the exact same issue, i.e. link goes down with high inbounding traffic while outgoing traffic works fine.

On thing I've noticed is we are both running revision 3 hardware.

Could the issue be the combination of hardware revision v3 (my firmware is 1.74) and the driver?

skzs012 · Dec 10, 2021, 5:33 AM

@xiazuojie then i will be back to dual wan 2x1Gb / s for now and i will keep this card for now.
I'll check the firmware when I get home!

skzs012 · Dec 10, 2021, 10:18 AM

i decided to send this NIC back and buy an I225-V version to see if that fixes the problem

xiazuojie · Dec 10, 2021, 12:23 PM

@skzs012 don’t bother. I am running i225-v b3

stephenw10 · Dec 10, 2021, 12:28 PM

@xiazuojie said in Intel Ethernet Controller I225-LM Support?:

I am running i225-v b3

That is the NIC we have in the 6100 and I also have a separate NIC using that chipset and it works fine. In Plus it should work without issue. In CE it will work in 2.6. In 2.5.2 you will need to disable checksum offload.

Steve

xiazuojie · Dec 10, 2021, 1:16 PM

@stephenw10
What is the hardware revision and firmware version that you have tested?

Mine is i225-v b3 revision and 1.74 firmware.

stephenw10 · Dec 10, 2021, 1:16 PM

Yes, it's the b3 revision.

igc0@pci0:2:0:0:	class=0x020000 card=0x00008086 chip=0x15f38086 rev=0x03 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Intel Corporation'
    device     = 'Ethernet Controller I225-V'
    class      = network
    subclass   = ethernet

I'm not seeing the firmware version reported, where are you seeing that?

There is an Intel I225 Firmware Update Tool
