Customer Requirement: 

To implement VF RSS using ixgbevf driver.  Customer wants to know how to turn on RSS support on ixgbevf.

Customer Observation:

Using 3.3.2 ixgbevf in guest and 5.0.4 ixgbe on host. I noticed that even though there are two RX queues for each VF, but pretty much all the packets go to the first RX queue. The RSS related features are also not supported. How to turn on the RSS support on ixgbevf? If it does not support RSS, what's the point having multiple queues in ixgbevf?

To help customer, can I please request

So kindly requesting as

1. 1) Clearly step by step showing as how they can turn on RSS support on ixgbevf?
2. 2) In case kindly you can show a sample code where may be a function is really turning on RSS support on ixgbevf – that will be highly helpful.
3. 3) May be a sample application is already doing it.
4. 4) And last, what the limitation in RED means – even though RSS is workable in ixgbevf – what the limitation in red mean please? – so that they correctly set their expectation and use it correctly please

The limitation for VF RSS on Intel® 82599 10 Gigabit Ethernet Controller is: The hash and key are shared among PF and all VF, the RETA table with 128 entries is also shared among PF and all VF; So it could not to provide a method to query the hash and reta content per VF on guest, while, if possible, please query them on host(PF) for the shared RETA information.

We have experienced three occurrences on two servers of this error "tx_timeout" / "hung_queue", and packets stopped flowing for some number of seconds (but then recovered):

This is within first 3 weeks of usage of Intel X710 duo adapters running firmware 4.53 (with supported Intel SFP+) recently installed in a cluster of two-year-old Dell R620s, running CentOS 7.3:

I have downloaded nvmupdate64e and updated a spare Dell to firmware 5.05, so if this is the correct solution I have confirmed the procedure. However threads such as this one Intel X710 vs VMWare ESX: crash and reboot  give me pause-- crash and reboot would certainly be worse than a 10-20 second transmit hang.

My questions are:

1. Has anyone else experienced these tx_timeout / hung_queue issues?
2. Is it a known issue? If so, is it an issue with firmware, with i40e driver, or something else such as TSO/GSO (which are currently ON but I could turn them off).
3. If it is an issue with firmware, has it been corrected between versions 4.53 and 4.60, and is it recommended to flash production machines to 5.05, or to some other version. I could not find a detailed Change List.
4. Is there a way (such as generating high data rates using iperf) to make the sporadic issues occur reproducibly, so that I can demonstrate whether any attempted solution has been successful.

Thanks in advance!

Hi ,

I was  trying to set up Intel XL710 in 2x40 mode using the QCU but I am getting the error ""QSFP+ Configuration modification is not supported by this adapter."

Although If I try to check the current configuration it shows the mode as N/A.

All the steps that I followed:

I can't get connected to the internet. I get the message not connected. Connection on other computers working fine. I think it started when I tried to updat the driver. Intel says adapter not supported for windows 10.  I can't find the generic driver. Also, get a error 651. Can anybody help?

Thanks

When connecting PC and PC directly

In general, a cross cable is used.

I saw a PC to PC connection via a direct cable.

We confirmed that the ping test works normally.

There seems to be a separate LAN card to support this ...

Is there a way to check in the Network attribute?

Or is there a supported Chipset series?

Hi.

When deploying to the new 5th Gen Lenovo X1 Carbon, I keep getting an error stating that the network driver isn't installed - please see below:

pci ven_8086&dev_15D8&SUBSYS_224F17AA&REV_21

VEN_8086 = Intel

DEV_15D8 = UNKNOWN

I got the drivers here ( closest thing i could find ).

Download Intel Ethernet Gigabit Adapter Driver 12.15.24.1 for Windows 10 64 bit

Before the drivers weren't installed on the WIM file, so i used DISM to inject the drivers into the WIM file and managed to successfully boot from network

I installed the drivers and managed to the deployment screen to setup the deployment ready. Once the deployment is going and the windows 10 image has applied, before any of the applications can install i get the same error saying the network drivers hasn't been installed and you can see from the device manager that no network drivers have been installed, even Wi-Fi. Once on the machine, if i install the drivers from the link above, the Ethernet works fine.

Please can you let me know the correct drivers to use for the deployment of this network drivers.

Hi,

I am trying to configure 802.1ad on ixgbe vfs with a goal of moving resultant q-in-q interface into a container i.e. have the vf in default namespace and have all the vf's vlan interfaces being moved to different namespaces. Theoretically in this configuration, packets would be double-tagged coming into pf, be directed to correct vf (and outer tag stripped) and then delivered to linux with single-tag.

I tried this:

# echo 32 > /sys/class/net/eth1/device/sriov_numvfs

# ip link set dev eth1 up

# ip link set dev eth1 vf 1 vlan 2 proto 802.1ad

RTNETLINK answers: Protocol not supported

Is there a way I can do this ?

TIA,

Don.

We have a simple on board I210 in copper 10/100 mode connected to a BCM5241 PHY. The BCM PHY sees link at 100M from the I210, but the I210 cannot see link from the BCM PHY. So, TX from the I210 functions, but RX on the I210 has no link. We have attempted turning off and on internal RX AC bypass caps on the I210, but still do not see link.

The MDI traces are connected directly to one another on the the PCB. I210 MDI0 is the TX and I210 MDI1 is the RX. There are no magnetics in-between.

The signal from the I210 looks good on a scope, but looking at the receive side, it is very noisy. Has anyone encountered this issue?

Dear Intel Corporation, I still have no solution. HP doesn't provide correct drivers. Can't Intel create PXE-drivers? We have the devices now almost a month and have to install it one by one. This is not desirable.

Hi,

* In summary:

When I run iperf3 between 2 machines throgh SRIO VFs interface and I got the following error in dmesg:

TX driver issue detected, PF reset issued

* How to setup and detail results

+ I got 2 machines each with 1 X710 4ports 10G cards.  These 2 X710 cards has direct cable connect between them.

Hi there,

I have 2x the same setup of one X540-T1 network card in a Logic Supply MK100B-50 (ASRock IMB-181-D Motherboard) and in both computers, after a certain amount of usage, the X540-T1 card stops working. When I go in the Windows Device Manager it says "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (code 43)"

I can disable and re-enable the device to make it work but only temporarly. The problem comes back.

I've also installed the latest intel driver. It says it is version 4.0.215.0 which was installed with the file: IntelNetworkDrivers-PROWinx64.exe.

Should this work?

Any ideas of how to fix this?

Thank you.

I have X540-T2 adapter on ubuntu 14.04 server and netgear xs708e swich  but at last one time in 24h I have link down messasge in console.

ixgbe 0000:04:00.0: eth0: NIC Link is Down

ixgbe 0000:04:00.0: eth0: NIC Link is Up 10 Gbps, Flow Control: RX/TX

ixgbe 0000:04:00.0: eth1: NIC Link is Down

ixgbe 0000:04:00.0: eth1: NIC Link is Up 10 Gbps, Flow Control: RX/TX

I updated to latest driver and firmware but no luck.

How to fix this problem?

Hello,

I am using the newest driver for the Intel I219-LM network adapter in Windows 7. I need to change the size of the receive and
transmit buffers to: 

Receive buffers : 512

Transmit buffers: 128

I can’t seem to find the option to change the parameters !  

For the Intel 82579LM the option is easily available under the “advanced tab” for “network connection properties”.

Any suggestions?

Thanks 

Regards

Jonas

I've been having issues with TX driver issue detected, PF reset issued and fail to add cloud filter for quite some time across 12 VMware ESXi v6.0 hosts. About once a week the result is a purple screen of death (PSOD).

I recently upgraded the XL710 to NVM Firmware v5.0.5 and the VMware ESXi XL710 driver to the latest v2.0.6 on 4 of the 12 and the issues persist.

# ethtool -i vmnic2

driver: i40e

version: 2.0.6

firmware-version: 5.05 0x800028a6 1.1568.0

bus-info: 0000:03:00.0

Q. In trying to identify the culprit of , how do I identify the VM by filter_id?

Q. What is causing the "TX driver issue detected, PF reset issued"?

Q. How can I further troubleshoot to resolve the issue?

Here is just a snippet of /var/log/vmkernel.log. The logs are filled with the same repeating error messages:

Hi, I'm french so I'm already sorry for all the mistakes I'm going to make

So I built my pc (I7 7700K, GTX 1080, MSI Z70, WIN10), everything was going fine the first 3 days but last sunday I lost the connection, just like this.

I rebooted my router severals times, same for my pc but nothin. I installed the drivers from Intel website, the latest drivers and also the previous, still nothin. I have this message almost every time, The card Intel(R) Ethernet Connection (2) I219-V meet some drivers problem or equipment.

I decided to re-install WIN10, my connection came back but just for few minutes, at this time I re-installed WIN10 3 times (Ubuntu too) and weirdly the last time the connetion remains several hours but only at 10 Mbps and when I tried to play a video game (first purpose of my pc) my connection crashed 30second or 1 min after I joined a party and hardly comeback. Now I don't have any connections.

By the way, my network card had a lot of trouble to recognize my wires, I used 3 differents wires but my card said that my wires are not connected or damaged. I also tried to connect my new pc with my previous pc linked by Ethernet wire, I had the same problem : my wire is not connected or damaged.

I tried a lot of solutions but nothin is really working for now, I think my network card should be replaced but it takes 3 weeks at least and I would like to find another solution.

Thank you for reading this post.

Hi,

   I have a network topology as the following:

PF1 and PF2, PF3 and PF4 is connected directly.

VM1, VM2, VM3 are all passthrough a VF from these PFs.

The two vfs in VM2 are all added into a linux bridge "br0".

VM1 ip address:192.168.1.2

VM3 ip address:192.168.1.3

VM1 VM2 VM3: CentOS 7.0

VF Driver:i40evf

Version: 2.0.22

PF Driver:i40e

Version:2.0.23

If VM3 ping VM1, There are a lot of arp on br0 like a broadcast strom.

Is there any way that this behaviour can be disabled? It causes severe problems that can escalate into packet storms for us.

Hi Intel,

I would like to read-out the module eeprom of QSFP transceiver connected to a XL710-QDA1 NIC.

The naive approach failed:  ethtool -m eth0. It reports: "Cannot get module EEPROM information: Operation not supported"

Is this feature supported by the NIC and the Intel driver i40e?

I am using the following driver and firmware:

driver version: 2.0.23

firmware-version: 5.05 0x800028a2 1.1568.0

Thanks and kind regards

Thomas Dey

I have configured host with two PF and 16 x2 VF in debian system. It worked well if I use the PF/VF as standalone NIC, but not functional with OVS bridge.

The testing scenario as below:

eth0 (PF): 10.250.11.103/24

eth11 (VF 9): 10.250.11.113/24

   Bridge "vmbr1"

        Port "eth10"

            Interface "eth10" (VF 8)

        Port "vmbr1"

            Interface "vmbr1"

                type: internal

        Port "in1"

            Interface "in1"

                type: internal

    ovs_version: "2.6.0"

in1: 10.250.11.34/24

I try the following icmp test:

ping 10.250.11.254 (reply good)

ping 10.250.11.254 -I eth11 (reply good)

ping 10.250.11.254 -I in1 (NO response)

arp table shown as:

-------------------------------

Address                  HWtype  HWaddress           Flags Mask            Iface

10.250.11.254            ether   6c:3b:6b:e9:7c:e1   C                     eth11

10.250.11.254            ether   6c:3b:6b:e9:7c:e1   C                     eth0

10.250.11.254            ether   6c:3b:6b:e9:7c:e1   C                     in1

But arp is not stable, it disappear very quickly:

------------------------------------------------------------

Address                  HWtype  HWaddress           Flags Mask            Iface

10.250.11.254                   (incomplete)                              in1

10.250.11.254            ether   6c:3b:6b:e9:7c:e1   C                     eth0

10.250.11.254            ether   6c:3b:6b:e9:7c:e1   C                     eth11

The strange thing is:

ping via in1 will not fill up the arp table for in1 Iface (always show incomplete), but ping via other two iface seems fill the mac address into in1 some time.

I have tcpdump to in1 and found it send out ARP request broadcast, but did not get any ARP reply from host 254.

ovs-appctl fdb/show vmbr1:

-----------------------------------------

port  VLAN  MAC                Age

    2     0  72:fc:b4:3a:e6:0f   78

    1     0  6c:3b:6b:e9:7c:e1   38

    1     0  6c:3b:6b:f5:96:e6    3

    1     0  88:43:e1:dd:9c:80    1

This looks persist and will not change whatever I ping via any Iface.

I have also try to change VF port, but seems none of them work with OVS bridge.

But the bridge worked if assigned the port to eth0 or eth1 PF.

Is there any advice?

I am using 3.3.2 ixgbevf in guest and 5.0.4 ixgbe on host. I noticed that even though there are two RX queues for each VF, but pretty much all the packets go to the first RX queue. The RSS related features are also not supported. How to turn on the RSS support on ixgbevf? If it does not support RSS, what's the point having multiple queues in ixgbevf?
