plupien79 Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 (edited) I'm having a problem getting this card up and running in my Unraid box. The card is detected, however I'm getting the "Interface Ethernet Port 1 is down. Check cable!" Anyone got some ideas? The card is plugged into a Aruba S2500 via a DAC (I've tried my other DAC as well) Edited February 21, 2019 by plupien79 Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 These are plug and play, you just need to configure the IPv4 address, to automatic or static. Quote Link to comment
plupien79 Posted February 14, 2019 Author Share Posted February 14, 2019 Plug and play doesn't seem to be working. Says cable unplugged. Have tried both DACs, switch sees the DAC but the unraid box just keeps telling me cable unplugged. Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Then there's a problem somewhere, with the NIC, the cable or the switch. Just recently got an used dual port Connect-X 3 that I had to send back to the seller since both ports didn't link up. Quote Link to comment
plupien79 Posted February 14, 2019 Author Share Posted February 14, 2019 Got a couple Known good DACs from work. Gonna give those a try. Does anyone have any idea if we can use the Mellonox tools in unraid? Quote Link to comment
plupien79 Posted February 21, 2019 Author Share Posted February 21, 2019 (edited) I found that switch is touchy with DACs. I bought transceivers and fiber and am now happily cruising at 10G. https://www.arubanetworks.com/support-services/interoperability/#SFP-XFP That's the link with the compatibility table.
