Hi Guys,
I seem to be having a negotiation Issue with my TrueNAS server. It keeps showing up under Network > Interface as 10baseTX.
So I've been reading through a bunch of forums regarding this issue. Seems like I'm not maybe the only one having it. Some called out having realtek NIC vs Intel (I have intel). Some said free bsd drivers related issues. But after messing around with the mutilple cables directly patching into the switch to the servers, running short distance, etc... Nothing worked. What I noticed is there is no hard coding on the NAS server, or even modifying this. Setting just displays what it negotiated.
So started to try to mess around with from the network side (switch side) and modified the interface from auto to 100Mb and 1000MB. What I noticed was that when I hardcorded it on the network side to 100Mb it, change the TrueNAS server to 100Mb. That didn't happen when I tried 1000MB unfortunately. So at least I am now getting faster then 1MB transfer speeds, I'm getting like 10MB.
I wanted to see if there is any plans to update TrueNAS software (I'm running 12.1, doesn't seem to have any new updates out) so that the nic is configurable through TrueNAS.
Or is there a list of recommended hardware. I know for me I'm running a microTIX case for a reason, so the option to just buy a new NIC and slap it in won't work. As I have no PCI slots, and just using the motherboard NIC.
Thoughts?
Thank you.
