poniz Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 I recently purchased a new new 2 port nic for my server (Intel 82546GB). I disabled the on board nic and switched the macs to reflect the change. Then i tried to setup bonding with 802.3ad, i rebooted the server, rebooted the switch and the speed on port eth1 always stays at 100 Mbps. I've tried to force the 1 Gigabit speed on the switch but no luck. What i see in the logs is the speed changes to 1000 Mbps back to 100 Mbps. I know my switch supports 802.3ad i've this feature on my QNAP before. I've tried changing the Ethernet cables. Tried to switch to other bonding modes but still no luck. I have attached my diagnostic file. Not sure if anyone needs any other information but my switch model is Meraki MS120-8LP. I've set port 2 and 3 as the aggregate ports, port 2 shows no issues but port 3 has the following message. here is what i see in the logs Quote Jan 13 18:07:26 XENON-NAS kernel: e1000: eth1 NIC Link is Up 1000 Mbps Full Duplex, Flow Control: RX Jan 13 18:07:26 XENON-NAS kernel: bond0: link status definitely up for interface eth1, 1000 Mbps full duplex Jan 13 18:08:13 XENON-NAS kernel: e1000: eth1 NIC Link is Down Jan 13 18:08:13 XENON-NAS kernel: e1000 0000:05:05.1 eth1: speed changed to 0 for port eth1 Jan 13 18:08:14 XENON-NAS kernel: bond0: link status definitely down for interface eth1, disabling it Jan 13 18:12:52 XENON-NAS kernel: e1000: eth1 NIC Link is Up 1000 Mbps Full Duplex, Flow Control: RX Jan 13 18:12:52 XENON-NAS kernel: bond0: link status definitely up for interface eth1, 1000 Mbps full duplex Jan 13 18:13:21 XENON-NAS kernel: e1000: eth1 NIC Link is Down Jan 13 18:13:21 XENON-NAS kernel: e1000 0000:05:05.1 eth1: speed changed to 0 for port eth1 Jan 13 18:13:21 XENON-NAS kernel: bond0: link status definitely down for interface eth1, disabling it Jan 13 18:39:13 XENON-NAS kernel: e1000: eth1 NIC Link is Up 1000 Mbps Full Duplex, Flow Control: RX Jan 13 18:39:13 XENON-NAS kernel: bond0: link status definitely up for interface eth1, 1000 Mbps full duplex Jan 13 18:39:30 XENON-NAS vnstatd[22072]: Detected bandwidth limit for "bond0" changed from 1000 Mbit to 2000 Mbit.

JonathanM Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Make sure all 8 pins are straight and making good connection at both ends of the cable. Stepdown from 1G to 100M is usually caused by the card or switch detecting a bad connection on one or more of the wires. Since you already tried different cables, try swapping the two cables at either the switch or the card and see if the problem moves to the other card. If it doesn't, the issue is likely in the card socket. Quote Link to comment
Vr2Io Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 (edited) If most 1G network device without problem with Meraki MS120-8LP switch then it is problem on the new NIC. But you can take more troubleshooting. Any different if ? ( no more link down ) - Only connect 1 port instead 2 port - Not apply LACP Edited January 14, 2020 by Benson Quote Link to comment

I'm about to go purchase another set of cables i am using CAT7 cables. 18 hours ago, Benson said: If most 1G network device without problem with Meraki MS120-8LP switch then it is problem on the new NIC.

( no more link down ) - Only connect 1 port instead 2 port - Not apply LACP Yea im didnt even think just to try one port and see if the speed will change. I havent tried to not apply LACP on 6.8.1. Will try both suggestions. Quote Link to comment
poniz Posted January 15, 2020 Author Share Posted January 15, 2020 Ok when i tried the port on its own it wouldnt update the speed even on forced. But once i disabled LACP on the switch and force the speed it updated but then reported the interface went down, then the ported was disabled by unraid. Maybe the switch doesnt like the LACP setup on unraid or my port is some how messed up on the NIC.
