Hello Interested People,
I just changed my hardware configuration from
ISP(Fiber) -> MediaConverter (fiber to rj45) -> OPNsense
to:
ISP(fiber) -> OPNsense (ix0) (Intel 520 DA2)
I am also online like this, however i noticed in the GUI that the negotiated speeds is set to unknown, and if config shows the same. Is that an issue

(i changed my inet ip in this printout)
media: Ethernet autoselect (Unknown <rxpause,txpause>) is what i am refering to

I suspect this is down to the FreeBSD driver for the fibre adapter.
If you have another fibre attached host, you can run iperf from OPNsense to test the speed locally.

dmesg | grep ix
ifconfig -vvvvv ix0
I'd guess it's ok ..
-
Isn't it possible that the media converter messes things up for FreeBSD?
Also, a Intel 520 DA2 can't do fiber, only Direct Attached Twin Axial cables.
Keep that in mind before plugging a fiber optic in it ;-)

I mean its working fine right now. Also, i get my line speeds. I was just wondering why it sates no speeds
Intel X520-DA2 82599ES (is the modelnumber)

It just doesn't recognize the correct firmware of the Gbic ...
-
anything i can do about this?
At the moment i have two different sfp modules in there that are compatible.
one Lodfiber ABCU 5710RZ 1000Base-T Sfp Copper RJ-45 100 m Transceiver
one Intel SFP-BIDI-1310 BlueOptics SFP BO15C3155620D
-
Isn't it possible that the media converter messes things up for FreeBSD?
Also, a Intel 520 DA2 can't do fiber, only Direct Attached Twin Axial cables.
Keep that in mind before plugging a fiber optic in it ;-)
https://ark.intel.com/products/39776/Intel-Ethernet-Converged-Network-Adapter-X520-DA2
Its weird that you mention this and yet, both, the Ethernet SFP and the BIDI device, work without a flaw.
-
DA stands for Direct Attach, so you can easily use a TwinAx cable where the Gibc is fixed on the cable.
There are also models with a Gbic integrated where such a cable wouldn't fit.
But all this doesn't mean that you cant use a normal Gbic with this card ...
-
I am still confused, probably because i am new to >gbit networks.
I don't use the card with a direct attached twin cables. I use supported sfp modules from https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000005528/network-and-i-o/ethernet-products.html
to have normal ethernet and fiber capabilities. One SFP slot has a 1.25gbit fiber module plugged in.
-
This is the first time I've read/seen that DA cards can use optics.
But if it's original Intel and it works, that is very cool.
