March 14, 20233 yr Hello, today I received a X550-T2 from Intel and plugged it into my server, however it is failing to get an IP address from my router and always ends up with a 168.254.x.x. IP. The port constantly goes UP and DOWN however never stays on and the RX error packet always increases and never passes. The 'ethtool' command reports that the link modes are all correct for this card and the devices page shows that the controller is there. I have tried: Putting NIC into 2 other computers to verify that it is working. Changing PCIe slots Trying different cables Trying different switch ports Static IP and DHCP configuration Deleting network.cfg from the boot device I am at a loss about what to do and any help would be appreciated! empyrean-diagnostics-20230314-1847.zip
