uldise Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 try to find out what a cable model it is. i have the same Mellanox card, ubiquity ES-16-XG switch , and it refuses to connect with Cisco Active DACs, but works just fine with Brocade Active DACs.. Quote Link to comment
ucliker Posted February 3, 2018 Author Share Posted February 3, 2018 I don't have mine setup through a switch, mine are directly connected to each other but using a switch shouldn't be that difficult. Quote Link to comment
zerolim1t Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 (edited) This is what i get... so its reads that the cable is plugged in but it wont give it a IP Edited February 3, 2018 by zerolim1t Quote Link to comment
uldise Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 but light on the card side is blinking? just verified on my switch - a have very similar CISCO-TYCO cables. as i wrote, they don't work with my mellanox cards, but is working just fine with Brocade cards. are you on latest switch firmware?

zerolim1t Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 i dont know how to update the firmware on the card. Would that help? i am on the latest firmware on the switch Quote Link to comment
uldise Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 i meant switch firmware... but lights on the card side is blinking? i'm out of ideas then.. Quote Link to comment
ucliker Posted February 7, 2018 Author Share Posted February 7, 2018 The latest firmware for the switch is here https://www.ubnt.com/download/edgemax/edgeswitch-16-xg. If you google your switch and the card/cables you own it seems that the Ubiquity switch doesn't play well with active DAC cables and AUTO negotiate settings. Have you tried setting them up manually? (try to give it a static IP) Also, I always use passive cables since I would just use fiber if I had longer runs. https://community.ubnt.com/t5/EdgeSwitch/ES-16-XG-SFP-DAC-cable-hell/td-p/1683163/page/2 Quote Link to comment

ucliker Posted January 7, 2022 Author Share Posted January 7, 2022 Im assuming you tested both cards? It should should just show up in your network devices. Quote Link to comment

Example of my X-3 IOMMU group 17: [15b3:1003] 05:00.0 Ethernet controller: Mellanox Technologies MT27500 Family [ConnectX-3] IOMMU group 18: [8086:15f3] 06:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Ethernet Controller I225-V (rev 03) root@computenode:/usr/local/emhttp/plugins/usb_manager# lspci | grep Mell 05:00.0 Ethernet controller: Mellanox Technologies MT27500 Family [ConnectX-3] root@computenode:/usr/local/emhttp/plugins/usb_manager# Is the PCI slots you have inserted the card in to enabled in the BIOS?

chriswheelz Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 update: So i swapped slots with my HBA and that did the trick. Unraid sees the card. I setup a test network drive in windows. My 1gig connection is rock solid. now the same file to the same location but over the 10gb and windows locks up. if i get any transfer speed its in the low kb range...any thoughts?
