Unable to get 2.5G on DEC740 RJ45 Ports !

[vincen]

Hi

I'm using a DEC740 with current OPNSense firmware. I'm using the RJ45 port for the LAN but they don't work at 2.5Gb although specs of devices states they support it.
My desktop computer has a network card that supports 1 and 2.5G.
I have noticed in properties of the port in OPNSense that I can't force it in 2.5G. Is it not supported by OPNsense ? or there is a magic option to get it working also in 2.5G ?

Thankr for your help

The raw device is the one where the properties can be adjusted if they are not syncing at the speed you want.
The other end also needs to cooperate.
But if you have assigned other type of device on top of it, then the options don't appear on them.
For instance if you have VLANs hanging of this device, then those options are not available to the VLAN device, and the parent (the raw device) is often unassigned.
Have you created an assignment for it?

Thanks for your answer but sorry I didn't understand everything. What do you mean by raw device ?
The only modification done is that the Ethernet ports have been bridged together.

Can you post the output of this command, feel free to remove the IPs, they're not relevant

Code Select Expand

ifconfig

The bridge won't have those attributes. Each member interface will. Those are the raw devices.
For example in the "Assignments" section, you'll be able to identify the Devices and Interfaces in OPN's nomenclature.
See in my case I have two VLANs on one interface igc1. From the screenshot of the Assignments you can see that it is not assigned, but the VLANs are. Then on the settings for LAN/igc1_vlan100  (one of the two pseudo interfaces), there are no attributes for speed. On OPT1/igc2 (another interface without pseudo interfaces on it), those attributes are available.

Thanks for explananation and I understood now ;) Unhappy on my RJ-45 ports maximum speed OPNsense allows me to select is Gigabit :/ I guess my DEC740 is too old and doesn't support 2.5G on Ethernet ports :/

That's what I was hinting at too when I asked for the ifconfig :)

Which version do you have? The newest version says it has 2.5gbps ports, that also implies that a previous version only had gigabit ports.
