Dell R310 locks Web-GUI / igb Problem

[Der-Tim]

Hi there,

as I've read in another thread here in the forums, we're not the only ones with problems with Intel Quad-Ports NICs (igb). Our Dell R310 becomes stale. Not the whole system, only the Web-GUI and the SSH-Login becomes unresponsive.

The error which can be seen on the console is: igb2: Could not setup receive structures

Wondering, because we don't use igb2 directly. It's assigned as a PPPoE Interface, as igb0 and also igb1 are also.

This is our setup:

• Dell R310, 1 DualCore Xeon, 8GB RAM, 2x 500GB HDD, 2x onBoard NICs (Broadcom, bce) + 1x QuadPort PCIe Intel NIC (igb)

– bce0 -> LAN (192.168.1.0/24)
-- bce1 -> XPROXY (Crosslink to our ProxyServer, 10.0.12.252/30)
-- igb0 -> pppoe0 (DialUp)
-- igb1 -> pppoe1 (DialUp)
-- igb2 -> pppoe2 (DialUp)

We're not using this setup right now, as I've seen this problems before switching from our "Desktop-FW" running pfSense 2.0 to the new Dell-based FW.

Any ideas or workarounds? I don't want to use this system, as long as we're facing this igb issue.

Hi there,

thanks for that suggestion. I've to say, I've only searched for igb and not for the errormessage itself… :-/ Will try this solution.
