Hey guys,
I know that MLX cards are not the most ideally suited for TNC but they are all I have fitting a x8 slot.
I want to setup a low(ish) power secondary NFS Box for ESXi so I revived an older SM X11SSL-F system which only has x8 and x4 slots. I added a HBA, an Optane and a CX3 Pro I had left over.
My problem is that the card works fine when running no VLANs, but I can't get it to pass traffic with VLANs configured.
I have used another TNC Box (12.8 with a CX5) as blueprint, they have identical config at the switch (access ports on VL10/11) and OS level (different IPs obviously).
The CX5 has been working fine forever on 12.x but the CX3Pro is acting up on 13. Everything seems to be jolly, ports are up but its just not working...
Will drop in a non-Pro next, but am kind of lost what the issue might be except some incompatibility issue ... which is why I thought i should ask if anything is known regarding this ;)
Thanks
Edit: I am not trying to set up multiple VLANs on a single interface (which obviously would need a trunk on the switch) but only access the physical NIC with a VLAN. Normally I wouldnt even need to tell the OS that the NIC is running a vlan since the switch sets it, but thats what i did on the working box so i did it here too. Tried all variants o/c(vlan interface on top, vlan interface on trunked port etc pp) , nothing
Edit2 - added config pics -tn13/ ip 31 is not working, fn11, ip29 is fine
