Hi,

I Install a Freenas server on a Dell R740XD2.
We had a SFP+ network card but there isn't any new network interface available in the Freenas interface.
If I connect through SSH on the server and run the following command, I see that the card is recognized:

Code:
$ pciconf -lv | grep -B4 network

bge0@pci0:4:0:0:    class=0x020000 card=0x001f1028 chip=0x165f14e4 rev=0x00 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Broadcom Limited'
    device     = 'NetXtreme BCM5720 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe'
    class      = network
    subclass   = ethernet
bge1@pci0:4:0:1:    class=0x020000 card=0x001f1028 chip=0x165f14e4 rev=0x00 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Broadcom Limited'
    device     = 'NetXtreme BCM5720 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe'
    class      = network
--
    subclass   = SATA
none74@pci0:102:0:0:    class=0x020000 card=0x412114e4 chip=0x16d614e4 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Broadcom Limited'
    device     = 'BCM57412 NetXtreme-E 10Gb RDMA Ethernet Controller'
    class      = network
    subclass   = ethernet
none75@pci0:102:0:1:    class=0x020000 card=0x412114e4 chip=0x16d614e4 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Broadcom Limited'
    device     = 'BCM57412 NetXtreme-E 10Gb RDMA Ethernet Controller'
    class      = network


I don't know how to enable this interface on my Freenas. Can someone help ?

Thanks a lot.

What is the full output of ifconfig within code tags?
Also, which version of FreeNAS?

our Freenas version is FreeNAS-11.2-U7.
he is the output of ifconfig:
Code:

It's possible that the driver is included with the updated OS in 11.3. If you would like to test whether or not it is and can afford a bit of downtime for the test, you could install 11.3-BETA to a USB stick, temporarily boot from that stick, and perform your test. You could then reboot as usual into your usual boot device.

If you get a chance to test and it's still not showing in ifconfig, make a report at bugs.ixsystems.com and post the issue number here.

@ldfandian please don't necro 2 year old threads. First of all which version of TrueNAS are you running? For support of modern hardware anything but TrueNAS 12 is definitely too old. Please open a new thread with your problem, giving us some links to see what precisely HPE puts into these servers. There might be several models, so knowing which network hardware you have is necessary.
