Intel NIC driver issue

[xmicks]

Hello i'm new to Freenas and last week installed version 9.3 and this week version 9.10

But the error messages window is just constantly reporting errors. For what i've read on the forums its related to a nic driver issue with freebsd. I'm on a supermicro X10SLM-F motherboard with 2 intel nics eatch an other controller. The first one is a intel i210-AT and the other one is a intel i217-LM.

this is from the error messages log
i'm now connected through the i217LM network controller (mac: 00:25:90:59:ef:ef)

hope somebody can see whats wrong here. if i need to input more info, let me know.

 

[dlavigne]

Were you able to figure this out?

 

[xmicks]

no i am not. really frustrating. i think its a driver relative problem, i have a supermiro x10slm-f with a i210 and a i217 nic. i think the driver isnt working correctly but i cant figure out how to update the driver.can somebody explain how i update the nics-driver?

or maybe the problem can be solved another way? maybe the firmware of my nics are outdated, could that be the problem?

 

[dlavigne]

i cant figure out how to update the driver.can somebody explain how i update the nics-driver?

You don't, it comes with the OS.

What exactly is the problem? Are the cards flapping? Or are you starting/stopping jails? Are they both plugged in or is your posted ifconfig from when only one was connected?

 

[xmicks]

im now connected on the (em0) i217 nic, the ifconfig i posted was when i was connected to only that interface. when i connect on the other nic, the (igb0) i210, i get errors that my jails(currently sabnzbd and emby) cant load the tree menu.

Code:

An error occurred while unserializing from http://10.0.8.12/plugins/sabnzbd/6/_s/treemenu: No JSON object could be decoded

 

[dlavigne]

That JSON thing is a known bug that is being investigated.

What are you actually trying to achieve? eg run both NICs at once, run the one that works better? We need more information about your network setup and goals to help you.

 

[xmicks]

also when i first installed the os and booted for the first time, there weren't any network interfaces configured in the web gui. when i try to do that in the webgui it messes up the connectivity. or when i then reboot the system looses connectivity. for instance when i configure it with dhcp it doesnt load the config correctly(for instance without a gateway).

it seems to work the best when i remove all the network config, boot and let the network be configured when the system boots.

 

[xmicks]

i also started another thread https://forums.freenas.org/index.php?threads/network-constantly-reconnecting.43126/

im also getting this error a lot "cant rename enodeXa"( or enodeXb) where X is 1, 2, 3 etc. thats why i started that other thread. but maybe the two are connected. in that thread theres more info about my setup and error messages im getting

 

[xmicks]

next thing im going to do is to run both nics at once and see what that gives me. is it possible that the firmware of my nics are outdated? the motherboard is 2-3 years old.

is there something i can do to debug this? are there perticular logs i can see to help me figure this out? are there commands i can run that will yield something?

 

[pirateghost]

Have you tried reinstalling from scratch to see if it's a corrupt install?

And try not to post multiple threads for the same issue, it's pretty rude.

 

[xmicks]

i'm doing a fresh install right now, ill report here if that solved the issue.

 

[xmicks]

just did a fresh install and it seems that that didnt solved the issue.

after the fresh install i went to network interfaces and there was no interface configuered. when i wnt to network summary there was a ip of the freenas box, gateway enz. so looks like the dhcp thing worked on boot but it didt made a interface in the os. when i then made a network interface of the em0 interface im connected through right now, network connectivity was corrupted. i can connect to my freenas box but i cant ping 8.8.8.8 on the freenas box.

now im going to see what happens when i boot with both the em0 and the igb0 interface connected.

 

[pirateghost]

Um. A dhcp NIC doesn't show up as 'configured' in the web GUI.

 

[xmicks]

oh, but why do i lose internet connectivity when i configure a interface?

this is the log

[pirateghost]

I don't know what you're doing to cause that...

 

[Jailer]

oh, but why do i lose internet connectivity when i configure a interface?

The better question would be if you have internet connectivity then why do you keep breaking it by trying to configure an interface?

 

[xmicks]

i just checked the 'cofigure ipv4 dhcp' box

 

[pirateghost]

But it's already got an IP on DHCP...

 

[xmicks]

i now get this in the footer log, when im connected to both the nics

Code:

May 12 01:04:55 FreeNAs mDNSResponder: mDNS_Register_internal: ERROR!! Tried to register AuthRecord 0000000801409D60 FreeNAs.local. (Addr) that's already in the list

[pirateghost]

Because you're trying to configure dhcp on a dhcp interface?
