Supermicro AOC-STGN-I2S - 1Gbps support?

stephenw10

Hmm, and that doesn't offer a 1G fixed mode if you run ifconfig -vvvm ix1 ?

Here is the output. I have a spare Mellanox ConnectX-3 which I test if this card do not support it.

Hmm, yeah something weird happening there. That's not a 10G module, it shouldn't be offering 10Gbase-SR as a link type.

This is the modules installed. It worked fine for SFP ports.

Right, it's a 1G module but the NIC sees it as 10G and tries to use it as such for some reason.

I haven't seen that before, I'm not sure what could be done there.

Try it i the Mellanox NIC and see what it reports there. Though I will say those ConnectX-3 NICs have always behaved oddly for me.

Tested using Ubuntu Live ISO. Initially both DAC and Unifi module did not work.

So I swap out the Unifi module of the router with a spare and it works immediately.

stephenw10

But still not in pfSense?

@stephenw10
Pfsense sees it now. Sorry I forget to mentioned it.

Now I’m trying to figure out how to make wireless devices see the printer, unifi cloud key and HomeKit hub from the other subnet.

stephenw10

The best way to do that is to just use the IP directly. However I imagine you might have some devices that need to 'discover' those resources and have no option to enter an IP directly. If that's the case you might need something to proxy that discovery traffic like Avahi.

Will give it a try when I get some time. For now, first step of moving pfsense to bare metal is done.

Thanks Stephen!
