Hi there!
I setup my first little NAS and have "problem". The switch I use at the moment is a little Netgear managed switch with 2 SFP ports (not SFP+), so it supports only 1Gb connections (S350 series GS310TP). Because of that, I chose the Intel X520 network card wich should support both, 1Gb and 10Gb so I can use another switch with SFP+ later (to expensive when I needed a new switch some time ago).
The network card is connected with a 1 m DAC twinax cable to the switch and I wonder why I don't even get a link. I thought maybe I can set the media type manually to 1Gb so I used the command
Why is there no 1Gbase option? Do I need another driver?
==============================
System details:
- Fujitsu D3417-B1
- Intel Xeon E3-1225 v5 (the Core i3-7100 won't work at the moment but that's another story...)
- 2x 8Gb Samsung ECC RAM
- FreeNAS 11.3-U3.2 installed on a Intel Optane M.2 Card
- Intel X520-DA2 PCIe
- no harddrives connected at the moment

ifconfig -m ix0
to figure out whitch options I have and basically there is only one:Code:
supported media: media autoselect media 10Gbase-Twinax
