June 18, 20224 yr Hello, I changed to the ASUS P12R-M/10G-2T because of a defect, 2x 10GBit NiCs are installed there. Unfortunately, I can't get more than 100MBit/s. please help guido-diagnostics-20220618-1925.zip
June 18, 20224 yr I would start with the cable. I have had it happen multiple times the cable won't allow gigabit.
June 18, 20224 yr Author lol, these are good CAT6a cables that can do 10GBit/s, but since my switch can only do 1GBit/s and these are the cables I bought new and tested with 1GBit/s! apparently it's not just me who has this problem. https://forums.unraid.net/topic/123263-intel-x710-nic-limited-to-100mb/#comment-1123428 Edited June 18, 20224 yr by DjSni
June 19, 20224 yr Community Expert In the diagnostics, the NIC is being detected as follows: Settings for eth0: Supported ports: [ TP ] Supported link modes: 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Full 10000baseT/Full 2500baseT/Full 5000baseT/Full Supported pause frame use: Symmetric Receive-only Supports auto-negotiation: Yes Supported FEC modes: Not reported Advertised link modes: 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Full 10000baseT/Full 2500baseT/Full 5000baseT/Full Advertised pause frame use: No Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes Advertised FEC modes: Not reported Speed: 100Mb/s Duplex: Full This would (normally) seem to indicate a cabling issue or a switch issue. I would reinvestigate this possibility. Then google for any problems with this NIC and Linux. (If the problem is with the driver in general, it will probably need to be addressed first in Linux.) If you don't find anything or if the driver has been updated to address this issue, generate a bug report. (LimeTech normally will never see these type of issues if reported in the General Support sub-forum. They track all topics in the bug section...)
September 14, 20232 yr I have exactly the same issue with this exact motherboard - trying to plug in to my temporary 1Gbps switch (while waiting for a 10Gbps one) it only negotiates at 100Mbps no matter what I do... Has anyone managed to solve this somehow?

Has anyone managed to solve this somehow? Restart your switch, Check The cables and restart your unraid, If not working disable 1 nic in bios and tray the Same.
September 23, 20232 yr So I left for vacation, came back, powered on the server and it just negotiated 1Gbps like it's nothing... I've spent 3 days on trying cables, switches, upgrading firmware, BIOS and anything else I can think of or find on the internet and nothing helped, and now after like 5 days sitting powered off it just magically starts working I feel like it's been making fun of me now
September 23, 20232 yr Community Expert I suspect that the power being off had something to do with it. You may not realize it but shutting it down does not really 'shut' everything down! In fact, your NIC will be active if the BIOS is set up to 'wake up on LAN'. (The NIC might have gotten itself in some mode that a simple reset would not correct...) I have watched one of my servers when it is rebooted. It appears that it completely shuts down but I know that the PS is still active and it does supply some power to the MB during this period.
