Title: no connection with 22.7, fine with 22.1
Post by: csutcliff on September 12, 2022, 12:03:12 PM

Hi,

I run a couple of opnsense installs in a datacentre where the provider requires that the WAN interface is set to 100baseTX Full-Duplex. Autonegotiation is not supported. This has been working fine since I switched from pfSense a few years back. The interfaces in question are I350-AM4 (igb) built into Supermicro M11SDV-4CT-LN4F.

With 22.7 I have no connection and ifconfig reports "status: no carrier" on these interfaces.

In my troubleshooting if I select autonegotiation (albeit unsupported by the provider) it defaults to 100baseTX half-duplex which sort of works but has many errors and collisions.

Downgrading to 22.1 restores normal functionalilty.

what commands do you set to go back and forth between auto/full

Code Select

ifconfig igb0 media 100baseTX sets half duplex ("works" but with errors)

Code Select

ifconfig igb0 media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex sets full duplex (no carrier)

I tried autoselect from the opnsense webgui when it was already at half-duplex

are you restarting the device/service when you switch to full duplex?
