I am running 6.12.4 and I have a 10G card installed in my server. I also have a 10G card installed on my desktop and was previously able to get 10G to function without issues. Now I cannot seem to make this happen.
The server is an HP DL380 G9. It was previously on a Dell R610. Both platforms the 10G worked without issues. My desktop is using a Solarstorm SFN5122F with a 10G capable SFP connected to a fiber run over to the switch which is a PowerConnect 5548P. The Unraid server is using an Intel 10G NIC (forgot model number). The server is connected via a DAC to the switch.
I have a speedtest and an iperf3 box setup for testing speeds. Before whatever issue happened I was getting about 6G of the 10G transfer speeds. Enough to know the 10G was working and there were no real issues. I could even get the transfer speeds that showed this to be the case. Without warning and with no changes I can see, suddenly I cant get more than 1G speeds. It is only connected to a 10G NIC, logs show it sees the 10G and connects, Windows VMs see the 10G, the managed switch sees the 10G connected at that speed. So everything should be on the up and up. But no avail. I have tried to use a VM on the machine itself to test the speed to the speedtesting containers and even that doesnt get more than 1G. So even internally without leaving the machine it is only offering 1G speeds.
I have set the network bonding to only include the 10G interface I am currently using. All other ports are unplugged so only the 10G should be used in every scenario.
I have tested both a docker container and a VM with iperf and the results are the same.
Anyone have any ideas that they think might help. A setting, a test, anything. I will share anything needed to help out. This has been driving me mad for about a month. Searches on the forums, reddit and google have not been very helpful. I am hoping a post will get some interest here for someone with new ideas. I have debated on ordering new hardware for the NIC, but I feel this issue is very specific to something not hardware related. It has to be some software trigger. A driver, a setting, an update in the software. Hardware doesn't magically fail from a 10G to a 1G connection perfectly.
