Yes and they all seem to be Receive Length Errors. No Out errors shown in the switch either, which might be expected.
I would at least try swapping and switch port if you haven't tried that yet.
I would also try re-assigning that interface if you can. See if the errors follow it or stay on the NIC.
-
To clarify, you mean move the PF LAN connection to a different port on my switch, see if I still get errors, easy enough ?
Part 2, are you suggesting I swap my WAN connection from ix0 and move it to ix1 and vice versa, to see if I still get the same errors or if they follow, i.e perhaps just 1 of the 2 nics on the X550-T2 is bad / faulty ? Or even easier I guess I could re-enable the onboard nics and move the LAN connection over to one of them, granted my NDI does not freak out and pfsense+ goes down, not sure how that would behave.
-
Yes and yes! Swapping the physical port in use at either end is a good test if only to confirm there isn't a fault present.
-
So I moved the LAN connection to 3 different ports on the switch, no change, still getting the slowly incrementing "Errors In". I also tried 1Gb and 10Gb ports, no difference.
I re-enabled the Onboard NIC in BIOS and oddly PFSense froze / halted on boot. Not sure what the deal is but seems like it does not like when i have both the onboard X540 and PCIe X550 enabled at the same time. I dont really want to unrack and rip out my X550 for this test, so not sure where else to go from here.
-
Hmm, odd. Where does it appear to freeze?
-
Ill have to get a picture for you when I have a change to reboot.
-
FYI,
I've since swapped LAN NICS, got the onboard working again. I also swapped switches and swapped the patch cable. So everything is different, yet I still get a slow trickle of LAN Errors IN.
This count is after 6 Days of uptime.
Old setup was X550 with Cisco 3850
Current setup is X540 with Cisco 3650
Same issue observed with both nics and when the switch was a brocade ICX-7250
Same issue observed regardless of NIC speed and connection type, RJ45 vs SPF+Should I be concerned ? I'd love to know why this is happening.
-
I wouldn't be too concerned if you're not seeing any other issues.
Still the same error type shown in the sysctls?
-
Correct same type, matches up.
