Hardware and Performance / DEC2752 - hang issues using ax0/ax1 interfaces
« on: January 11, 2024, 03:02:32 pm »
Hi all -
Have a brand new, out of the box DEC2752, and I'm having big issues with it.
Basically, configuration goes OK right until I try to use the ax0/ax1 interfaces for anything. Once I enable those interfaces - I have all kinds of odd issues. The links come up but never pass traffic. I've tried multiple SFP+ modules - both fiber and copper - to no avail.
To make it worse, not only do the connections not work, but I also end up with serial console port issues. The console port stops giving me output. If I then reboot the box, the boot sequence seems OK right until it outputs the IP assignments ... as it's printing the SSH SHA256 fingerprints, the console comes to a full hang.
This is really, really problematic.
I did a full reinstall of OPNsense - both the business and the community versions - to absolutely no avail.
Any ideas? Is there something I'm missing about these AMD chipsets?
I'm really stuck right now.
