Dear All,
I've moved my lovely server to the datacenter and now pulling my hair out
while trying to
understand why both of /dev/igb interfaces aren't picking up Ethernet
connection on boot.
Tested with both 10.3-REL and 11.0-REL.
On the other end it's connected into Dlink DES-1210-52 switch.
When system is booted, running `ifconfig | grep status` over iKVM returns:
status: no carrier
status: no carrier
However, after `/etc/rc.d/netif restart && /etc/rc.d/routing restart` it
picks up the cable
which is connected to one of the ports. Both interfaces are Intel I210AT
integrated in the MB.
For the moment being, the only solution I see is to create a separate
script in /etc/rc.d
and restart netif/routing after boot is completed.
Could this be a problem specific to onboard interfaces?.. I was using this
particular box
in other environment without any similar problems on 10.0-REL.
Output from `ifconfig` when one of the interfaces is up:
