Hi guys,
I am having a problem with the igb driver on FreeBSD
Issue:
We have two Dell R720 servers with the Intel i350 QP adapter.
We are need three connections.
1. Connection to external switch
2. Connection to internal switch
3. Connections to the other server via crossover cable
Connection 1 and 2 are working fine and remain consistent and are connected to a Cisco switch.
But connection three keeps dropping out and when we try bring it back online it doesn't respond.
We have restarted the networking on both servers and the connection will come back for about 10 minutes then drop again. This is also the case if we restart the servers.
We have tried a straight through cable instead of the crossover with the same effect.
I have contacted Dell and they said they cannot help because Intel develop the driver for FreeBSD and i should contact them, but when i contact Intel they tell me they only support Intel boxed products.
Anyone got any ideas?
