Hello! First post here so I will try and follow the guidelines as best as I can ...
SYSTEM:
* Dell R740xd, 64G ram, Single silver proc
* Intel 350-T 4 port gig (built-in/on-board)
* TrueNAS 12.0-U6
* Cisco 2960L gigabit switch (IOS 15.1)
* CAT-6 network (short run)
* TrueNAS shows 4 igb interfaces
TSHOOT:
* All cables changed (system/patch/switch) twice
* Switch cleaned and tested (different ports), speed and duplex set to auto
* Tried all 4 ports on the card (and switch) and all come up at 100BT
* iDRAC is on the same switch and running 1gig (dedicated NIC)
No matter what I try the system will not run at 1000BT, it insists on 100BT. I scoured the forums and found a couple of issues with this and tried all recommendations. I noticed the FreeBSD suggests the em driver for for the 350-T model NIC but before I went storming into kernel mods and driver changes I just wanted to get a consensus from the public. This is causing lag in our production environment.
Funny thing is I have two identical systems (basically) and one is working fine - only difference is that the original one was installed with 12.0-U1 and upgraded. The new one was installed with 12.5-U5 and then upgraded. That is the one that won't see the 350-T as gigabit. It did not run gigabit on U5 either, I upgraded to try and fix (and be current).
Any hints would be great if you have seen this before.
Thank you!
