Moving this here as I've not had any luck in its current thread:

Currently troubleshooting an issue with an Ubiquiti ES-16-XG and a Supermicro 5028D-TN4T (reports: X552/X557-AT 10GBASE-T).

I'm wondering if I'm being optimistic with the current driver (unRAID reports ixgbe: Intel(R) 10 Gigabit PCI Express Network Driver - version 4.4.0-k)

 

My issue;

Anytime that I make use of any type of bonding (though it has happened without bonding) -- that is either mode=1 (Active backup) or mode=4 (802.3ad) -- I would either have the switch flip the link on/off until it falls back to 1G or I get it to link at 10G if I disconnect one of the links (but getting 10G upon connecting this link would be hit or miss).

 

As for non-bonded links, I have a higher success rate at linking at 10G -- though there are instances where DHCP will fail (as if there was no routing, only for it to work after going from dhcp, to static and back to dhcp), but most often, after rebooting the switch or by reconnecting the link.

 

I'm attempting to figure out if this is a driver issue or an issue with 10GBASE-T (RJ45/Copper) support on this switch so any info will be appreciated~

Please let me know what you need from me, I'm an open book~

I have Ubiquiti US-16-XG and connect in SFP+ fiber wihout problem. BTW, the fiber NIC was single port, so I haven't try bonding.

As we know those Switch have issue with 10GBASE-T, so I don't think it is unRAID issue.

Yep -- that's what I'm trying to confirm as it does look like it is an issue with the switch under 10GBASE-T rather than with unRAID.

Thanks for confirming that SFP+ is working without issue as I do have an adapter that I can install for temporary use (and it is dual port so I can actually try bonding as well if needed).

Another question, what make you need bonding for 10Gb ?

I found unRAID itself always haven't extreme performance.

Redundancy -- simple as that.

Understand, thanks
