24.1 Production Series / Re: Packet loss in local network, when OPNsense is connected to switch
« Last post by meyergru on Today at 10:33:49 am »USB NICs are notoriously unreliable.
The I226 series has lots of problems, but as far as I understand, the RX errors occur on the other end of the connection, not at the switch port that connects to the OpnSense.
If that is the case and it happens only when the OpnSense is the target, it can only be some kind of CRC errors in the packets that are caused by the OpnSense. If this were framing errors, the packets would get dropped by the switch already.
Since the I226 has severe problems, I would suggest that you check that no hardware acceleration features are enabled on the OpnSense NIC. Maybe the hardware miscalculates something.
