I have an 11.0-U3 system that I just finished setting up. The motherboard is a Supermicro X9SRE-F with two onboard 1G NICs (one is connected to the LAN, the other is not connected). The system also has an Intel X710-DA4 which I've connected via an SFP+ twinax cable directly to an ESXi box with another X710-DA4.
Everything including iSCSI was working great. Then I shut down both boxes (ESXi then FreeNAS) and powered them both back up (FreeNAS then ESXi). Since then, I can't get the FreeNAS box to send or receive traffic on the previously working X710-DA4 port. The onboard 1G NIC still works fine. I've used a Windows box with an X710-DA4 (temporarily replacing the other 2 boxes one at a time) to verify that the ESXi box can send/receive pings but the FreeNAS box cannot.
On the FreeNAS box, I've verified the interface link is up. Just for yucks, I ran
I haven't explicitly turned on any firewalls on the FreeNAS box and don't recall FreeNAS having one on by default.
Any ideas what's going on here?

tcpdump -i ixl0
on the FreeNAS box while it was attempting to ping one of the other boxes. I noticed that the box is sending ARP requests to get the destination system's MAC address but never receiving a response.I haven't explicitly turned on any firewalls on the FreeNAS box and don't recall FreeNAS having one on by default.
