I'd like to start by stating that this is a fairly old build but, it is still running, it's completely internal, and it doesn't need an upgrade. Since it's in production, I didn't want to upgrade it and take any chances. If I need to at some point or get around to replacing it entirely, then I'll install whatever is current.
Server: HP ProLiant DL 380e Gen8
Card: Intel X520-DA2 (Dual Port 10G card)
Build: FreeNAS-9.10.2-U6 (561f0d7a1)
Switch: MikroTik CRS317-1G-16S+
Small history:
I recently had a hardware failure with this server where it failed to boot up and lost the OS disk. The old hardware was super old and the onboard SATA controller was dying.
I bought this replacement hardware and brought over the boot SSD, the 12 x 2 TB WD drives for storage, and the LSI card in IT mode for an HBA.
As it so happens (was planned), the new server has more PCIe slots than the old one so I slapped the Intel X520-DA2 in there to start building out my replacement 10G iSCSI network to replace my current 1G iSCSI network.
What worked:
After booting the FreeNAS up on the new hardware I ignored the 10G card at first and went through the process of reviewing everything I could think of to make sure the FreeNAS was working right and it all seemed well.
Eventually, I turned to the new 10G parts and plugged in the DAC cables between the X520 and the switch and started to configure the switch.
I then turned my attention to FreeNAS, where I started running into issues.
The card seems to appear correctly. I've compared the drivers from lspci and pciconf to what people posted in forms and it seems to be correct. So I set both ports a static IP, each in their own range.
What isn't working:
I am unable to ping or traceroute past the NIC IP itself. For the first port, I gave the bridge on the switch 10.10.7.1 and the NIC on FreeNAS 10.10.7.2. I can ping 10.10.7.2 and it works as expected but 10.10.7.1 fails as if it's never heard of it. The same for the other NIC.
Any ideas?
Anything someone wants me to include?
