Hi Guys,
I've just installed my first FreeNAS box for my own production use.
I've installed 'FreeNAS-9.10.2-U1 (86c7ef5)' on 2x Gen 7 HP Microservers both with the AMD N54L CPU and 8GB DDR3 RAM.
I've reset the network config on the port, then configured 2x VLAN's on the parent interface and set the IP's, routes etc and its working a treat.
The only issue I have (which both of the servers are displaying), after a reboot via the GUI or pulling the plug from the server, the network stops working. (is not pingable, cannot load the webUI)
The switch see's the port as online, but only shows 100mbps speed - forcing the switch to gigabit makes the port go offline all together. - The switch is a Cisco 52 port small business switch.
Now, If I connect a display and keyboard to the servers and select 'Configure an interface', select the parent/physical interface, and select Y to reset the configuration - It all comes up and works a treat again (keeps the VLAN sub interfaces as they are). Obviously this is a concern if the power was to go out and exceed the life of the UPS, when they reboot both of my storage devices would be offline.
I had a look through the threads for known issues with the hardware, but didnt have any luck.
Is anyone able to shed some light on this before I fork out for new intel PCIE network cards?
PS. I believe the NIC is an HP NC107i
