26.1.3 and Intel X710 (ixl0)

[felipe0123]

After upgrading to 26.1.3 I'm experiencing issues with the intel x710 interface. I wonder if anyone has seem something similar or have any advice.

Less than 1 minute after upgrading to 26.1.3, OPNsense lost all connectivity. It's like the network stack crashes completely, no traffic arrives at any of its interfaces (I226 and X710). Rebooting fixes it for 1 minute or so. About half the time, it will require power cycling as the soft reboot won't compete with the shutdown.

Console shows the following message a few times during shutdown:

ixl0: ixl_del_hw_filters: i40e_aq_remove_macvlan status I40E_ERR_ADMIN_QUEUE_FULL, error OK


That made me suspect the ixl0 interface, so I unplugged it and the issue went away immediately. Has anyone experienced something similar? Any advice?

Nope. Similar setup, sans i226s:

Interesting differences. I should be running all defaults. Could be due to driver selection differences, based on channel width or device (-DA4, in my case). Not likely relevant. Are you using other ports on the card?

Huh. That would seem to suggest use of hardware VLAN filters, specifically a MAC VLAN... which seems unlikely; far likelier a generic, misleading message. (I'm not ambitious enough to dig into the driver.) Just for the heck of it, what do you have set under "Interfaces: Settings -> Network Interfaces"?

device has 2x x710 + 2x i226. Only one of each was in use.


> what do you have set under "Interfaces: Settings -> Network Interfaces"

"disable ... offload" checkboxes all checked. vlan hardware filtering set to disabled too.

[solved] intel x710 - relevant?
