SM X11SSH-CTF + UBNT 10G Copper = 1Gbps ?!?!?!

[TheSmoker]

Hello FreeNAS lovers,

For quite some time I have a huge issue and I cannot for the world to fix it and that is the 1Gbps speed with 10Gbps network infrastructure.

I am running FreeNAS-11.2-U7 on the following hardware:
Supermicro X11SSH-CTF
Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1270 v6
64GB ECC RAM
Based on the SM specs the Intel networking is powered by an Intel X550 chip.
My switch was an UBNT UniFi Switch 16 XG and now that has been replaced by an UBNT UniFi Switch 6 XG PoE.
Tried multiple network UTP/STP/SFTP cables, now running 2 Panduit CAT6A 2m cables to the switch.

The result is that it will not negotiate 10Gbps link.
On the older UniFi 16 XG it would negotiate 10G for a while and then would fall back to 1Gbps. If I would force 10Gbps on the switch, after a while it would disable the link.

I mention the fact that my desktop Aquantia AQN-107 10Gbps network adapter works without any issues on both switches.

Does anybody has any ideas how to go around this issue?

Thanks in advance for any feedback and/or advice!

Cheers!

Hi @TheSmoker - If you have not already, take a look at Tom Lawrence's YouTube video on
SFP+ 10 Gigabit Connectors: LC Multi-Mode Fiber, 10GBASE-T, and DAC Cables.

He mentioned something about having compatible (the same?) connectors on both ends of the cable.

It's not the case as the connectors are RJ45. I am talking about 10G-BaseT. ;)

 

[Newfoundland.Republic]

He does talk about copper in the video...

 

[TheSmoker]

Yes. Direct Attached Cables, which are copper cables :) and the end connectors are SFP+. Both my mobo and switch have RJ45 ports. So we are not talking about SFP+ cables or connections here. :)

 

[Newfoundland.Republic]

Ahhh... Maybe the solution is a SPF+ card in the FreeNAS box to one of the SPF+ ports in the Switch XG?

 

[TheSmoker]

Unfortunately not possible either, due to the fact that I have 1 external SAS HBA for replication to SAS JBOD and one additional internal SAS HBA for additional disks which will use all the internal PCI Express slots available on this motherboard.

And anyway, adding additional hardware for trying to solve a software issue is not the way to go. ;)

PS> And yes, the copper 10G ports are working in Windows and Linux. :D

Have you tried UBNT support? Of course this *should* work with 10GBASE-T copper. Just to try something different could you borrow an SFP+ for the switch and try one of the SFP+ ports? You are using Cat6 cables with 8 wires, right? ;)

Kind regards
Patrick

I did not contact UBNT, given the working state using same HW & Networking on other OSes.
I could try to get a 10GBaseT SFP+ module compatible with UBNT to try it out ... I will update after testing ... where the hell did I put the SFP+ programmer .... ahem .... grrr .... memory not what it used to be.

:D @ CAT6 with 8 wires! I will not answer that. :p

This might not help, but I've had that same MB for almost two years now. Ran it at 10gb with a netgear switch, and now on a qnap switch. Both ports always got 10gb no problem with FreeNAS. Used mostly just 5e cabling i had lying around, but short runs less than 10ft since the switch is located right above it.
