alessandro15 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Hi everyone, I have an Asus Pro WS WRX80E-SAGE SE WIFI II, which has 2 ethe 10gb ports ( Intel X550-AT2 dual 10Gb Ethernet) but still it can't reach the speed I attach the commands I gave in the terminal, does anyone know how to solve this, and maybe activate effective negotiation, or set it fixed to 10gb (if you set it fixed, will I encounter problems if I connect to 2.5?) and I have to do it for both ports Thank you root@Tower:~# ethtool eth0 Settings for eth0: Supported ports: [ TP ] Supported link modes: 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Full 10000baseT/Full 2500baseT/Full 5000baseT/Full Supported pause frame use: Symmetric Supports auto-negotiation: Yes Supported FEC modes: Not reported Advertised link modes: 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Full 10000baseT/Full Advertised pause frame use: Symmetric Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes Advertised FEC modes: Not reported Speed: 1000Mb/s Duplex: Full Auto-negotiation: on Port: Twisted Pair PHYAD: 0 Transceiver: internal MDI-X: Unknown Supports Wake-on: umbg Wake-on: g Current message level: 0x00000007 (7) drv probe link Link detected: yes root@Tower:~# ethtool -s eth0 autonegazione ethtool (-s): unknown parameter 'autonegazione' root@Tower:~# dmesg | grep -i ixgbe [ 21.131283] ixgbe: Intel(R) 10 Gigabit PCI Express Network Driver [ 21.131287] ixgbe: Copyright (c) 1999-2016 Intel Corporation.

For making it to work with 2,5 or 5g speeds, you need to activate flow control. This is essential! Connection still will be reported as 10G, but it will work then by inserting proper pauses. But "the other side of the cable" needs to support it too. For now, there is no 10G negotiation, so they agreed to the next lower speed of 1G. You did not tell us, which device is attached, so there is no chance to give more clues yet. BTW: there is nothing wrong with the cards. Its because "2.5 and 5G do not exist". They are a marketing thing to be able to sell bad hardware that does not manage to go to the correct high speed of 10G. Later on they have declared this as a good thing to allow cheaper hardware and older cables. The intel card was designed before this happened, so it does not try to offer these fake speeds.

alessandro15 Posted February 20 Author Share Posted February 20 on the other hand there is an Asus GT-AX11000 router with a 2.5GB port (temporary) for configuring the new server, followed by a 10GB switch Quote Link to comment
alessandro15 Posted February 20 Author Share Posted February 20 the switch works at 10gb already tested with a previous server, and even with the previous server always connected to the same router (with 2.5gb port) it worked completely even the old server had 1 x eth 10gb intel and I didn't encounter these problems, I'm just wondering if it's possible, if there's a way to activate the negotiation properly or block it at maximum speed, then it will be the other device that creates a "bottleneck" for the device Quote Link to comment
