Hi all,

any ideas why a current RELENG_11_1 system with ixl(4)
onboard interfaces might not negotiate with a switch that
has only fast ethernet?

status: no carrier on the host
line protocol is down (notconnect) on the switch

dmesg:

Thanks for any hints,
Patrick

What is the device id (pciconf -lv)? I'm pretty certain that there aren't any devices supported by ixl that are capable of 100Mb. AFAIK, the X710/X722 BASE-T devices are all 10G/1G.

"Intel® Ethernet Controller X710/XXV710/XL710 Feature Support Matrix"
don't show support 100Mb link for any sw release for X710/XL710.

"Intel® Ethernet Connection X722 Feature Support Matrix" don't have
string "100"

I'm guessing these are 10G copper LOMs using X722; those don't support
100Mb speeds.

Your guess is probably correct. Going to re-wire tomorrow.

Thanks, everyone.
