I got the board with i5 CPU 3550S and Intel 82579LM onboard NIC .Found intermittent failed running internal & external LAN loop-back test by using Intel LAN DOS Utility Celo v1.17. The test only failed after running for few cycles , Anyone have idea what cause the test failed?
A latest version V1.21 found in Intel download center, any changes in Celo from V1.17 to 1.21?
Thanks.
Hi,
My internet keeps dropping every 10 minutes or so, it's a new computer with an ASRock B250M Pro4 motherboard, and a wired ethernet connection. My phone does not have any problems with the same router, neither did my previous computer.
I've read a bunch of solutions around the web, the main one is to go to Device Manager -> the network adapter -> Properties -> Power Management, and then turn off the "Allow the computer to save power" option.
This option wasn't there, and my settings looked something like this http://i.imgur.com/PBgPCSs.png which I assume is because the driver is newer than when that solution was proposed. I turned all the options in this dialog off, and it made no difference. I
I then installed several different versions of the drivers on the intel site, some with the "save power" option, and none of them stopped the issue from occurring.
What are my next steps?
I have a server with ESXi 6.5 installed and an Intel XL710 Adapter with the 1 meter breakout cable to give me four 10Gb connections. My ESXI server only sees the two 40Gb ports and not the 10Gb connections. How can I fix this? I need to use the 10Gb connections individually. Thanks.
I am designing a system that will use the x550. I want to have the future possibility of IEEE 1588 precision time protocol. The SDP (software defined pins) of the x550 will be connected to an FPGA for this purpose. Is it important to have an ultra accurate clock source on the x550 for 1588? Or does the FPGA require this clock source?
I was installing the latest drivers for my motherboard, I211 + I219-V on a fresh W10 x64, the 21.1 package.
I219-V work fine
But the new Drivers for I211 (at least, maybe others too) inside ProSet 21.1 are signed ¿Wrong? by INTELNPG1, and Windows refuse them with the classical Error 52.
ProSet 21.0, in other hands, work fine, the sign are correct. issued not by INTELNPG1, but Intel(R) Intel Network Drivers.
Not a drama, but it would be nice to install a properly signed driver to use it.
More strange, Drivers for I219-V are signed by INTELNPG1 too, and work fine (same cert)
For my old XP box, installed ref'd adapter & drivers and have since been experiencing connectivity issues. When it works it is fantastic but periodically drops connection with msg "Network cable is unplugged". By going to Device Mgr and changing any setting on the adapter, it will re-connect & everything is fine until next time. The exact model is Intel EXPI9301CTBLK Network Adapter 10/100/1000Mbps PCI-Express 1 x RJ45 (there wasn't an installation CD). The BIOS tab is asking to be flashed but I have no idea where that file might be (The Driver Update Utility has problems with XP). The downloads page on the support site has no link to an installation CD which I believe is called "Ethernet Adapters Connections CD". The one link I was able to find doesn't indicate support for this adapter. Any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA
Following all the events at I211/I217-V Windows 10 LACP teaming fails and networking - USB to Ethernet adapter supporting multiple virtual LANs - Hardware Recommendations Stack Exchange, we now have an Ethernet driver that should properly support the Intel Advanced Networking Suite (iANS) under Windows 10.
Using Windows 10.0.14393 with all updates installed, with an I217-LM adapter and the 22.0.1 driver installed. Things seem to be very flaky. My focus here is primarily on being able to work with multiple VLANs, with no trunking at present.
First - when creating new VLANs, ensure that the "Network Connections" window or any similar windows other than the "Intel(R) Ethernet Connection * Properties" dialog are closed. Not doing so will frequently result in the operation hanging indefinitely. (I remember the same from when we had the working drivers here in Windows 7 and Windows 8 days.) Even with the other windows closed, sometimes it is taking almost 5 minutes to create a new VLAN - but it takes even longer to do so with the "Network Connections" window open (if it completes at all).
With this out of the way: Add a new VLAN10. Only once one VLAN is created can we then create the "Untagged VLAN" (ID 0). Reboot. Everything still works and comes back up as expected.
Add a 2nd tagged VLAN, say VLAN11. Reboot. The "Untagged VLAN" fails to pull a DHCP lease. The virtual adapter shows packets being sent and received. I ran Wireshark on the Untagged VLAN adapter, saw DHCPDISCOVER packets go out, and other unrelated broadcasts and packets coming back - but no DHCPOFFERs returned. I.E., it seems to be missing traffic in that state. Disable the Untagged VLAN adapter, re-enable, and it instantly comes back with a valid lease. This is constantly repeatable. Nothing is even connected to the other side of these VLANs yet (the connected switchport isn't even trunked). Remove the 2nd tagged VLAN leaving only one tagged VLAN and the untagged, and things work much better - but this kind of defeats the purpose.
Here's my ugly hack of a work-around for now: Add a Windows Scheduled Task to run at System Startup, and to run with highest privileges. Use a PowerShell similar to the following as the action:
$( Get-Date Write-Host "Starting..." ipconfig.exe /all Write-Host "Restarting..." Restart-NetAdapter -Name "Ethernet - Untagged" -Confirm:$false ipconfig.exe /all Get-Date Write-Host "Done." ) *>&1 > C:\FixIntelNetwork.log
I was worried about timing, and could add a 30 second delay or such in the startup trigger. However, the ipconfig outputs show that this wasn't necessary. In the first ipconfig output, the adapter was present and already had an auto-configured 169.254.x.y IP address. In the second ipconfig output, a proper DHCP lease was shown.
As I don't have anything on the other VLANs to test with yet, I still need to determine - but may have to reset the other VLAN interfaces at startup as well.
Hi,
I have few clarifications on the Receive side scaling (RSS) setting in a Windows 7 OS. I want to disable the RSS because it gives some performance issues, so executed the command "netsh int tcp set global rss=disabled" and when I checked at the Network adapter properties, I still see the Recieve side scaling is enabled.
1. I would like to understand the difference between setting the RSS disabled using the command and disabling the same using the Network adapter properties. (How it works, which takes priority)
2. Is there any known issues if the RSS is disabled using the command line.
please share any info on this topic.
Appreciate your help!

Prabu
Dear Team,
I have query on intel network product that do we have 25G NIC - fiber card ? if not what is the alternate model in intel?.

Hello,
I am trying to use the x710 MAC/VLAN filtering option to steer packets to receive queues based on strict MAC address match.
I need to filter and steer around 100 MAC addresses to 8 receive queues. Because of the development environment constraints I cannot use
SRIOV, IOV, VEB or flex partitioning.
My configuration is as follows:
Default simple switch configuration
One PF and one VSI with 8 queues
RSS, Ether type and Flow director filters are disabled and MAC/VLAN filter is enabled.
I am setting toQueue flag to steer packets to the appropriate queue.
However I don't see packets getting steered to the desired queue. Packet steering is not happening and packets always land on the same queue.
Do I need to configure the switch with "Set Switch" command to get filtering work as described above?
How do I initialize the VSI to support the above flow.
Are there any other other configuration settings that need to be done to get the packets steered as described above?
Thanks,
Sony
According to the spec update multiple 82574L controllers have an SMBus address conflict.
" 7. SMBus ARP Fails with Multiple Devices Because Different UDIDs Collide "
I'm guessing this is the reason that I can no longer access the control/status registers of either of my Ethernet controllers. I'd like to assign the address manually per the spec update but I cannot access the control registers. Every time I try I get the following error:
Port Network Address Location Series WOL Flash Firmware Version
==== =============== ======== ======= === ================
1 (Cannot initialize adapter)
2 (Cannot initialize adapter)
Any suggestions on how to disable ARP when the adapter won't initialize?
Thanks!

Hi,
I am trying to run a VM that wont have an ip address but instead will work in transparent mode (like a cable). I have a PF that has 7 VFs on it and some of these VFs are part of VLAN x and some VLAN y. Here are my issues:
1. I see that the bcast traffic is sent to all VFs regardless, can I change it so that only bcast for the related VLAN arrives on th VF?
2. As the traffic that I generate has a different dest IP/MAC than my transparent VM, the VF should be in promiscuous mode. Is it enough to set "trust on" with ip link?
What I am trying to do is, to pass the traffic from VM1 to VM2 over the transparent VM.
VM1 -- TransparentVM -- VM2
Thanks,
I am planning on getting a Asrock Rack E3C236D2I server motherboard, and the two on-board gigabit NIC's it has are the Intel i210 and the intel i219.
Just want to check both the i210 and the i219 both support VLAN tagging. Planning on using Windows Server 2016 essentials.
Also what is the difference between the i210 and the i219 Chipsets?

Hi,
Can i use PCI-Passthru and SRIOV on the same hosts for different ports? ens1f0-1 SRIOV with multiple VFs and ens2f0-1 pci-passthru ?
I have 2 apps on the same hosts one supports SRIOV and the other one only supports pci-passthru.
thanks,
