Hi!
I have an S80 that has had an introduced 1000 BASE-T 2975 PCI adapter added, after the driver 14100401.
The ML of the OS is 4330-08, and the tcp_sendspace and recspace have been set correctly and the mtu is 1500.
However for the life of me I cannot get this NIC to broadcast, or rather have packets not dropped by hosts or switches (MAC Locking is not on).
Without a suitable wrap plug diags are limited, but although I can ping the interface fromits host, nothing else signifies. The interface correctly responds in errlog when a cable is removed and replaced, and tcpdump sees multicast packets crossing it.
netstat -v shows;
ETHERNET STATISTICS (ent1) :
Device Type: IBM 10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet PCI Adapter (14100401)
Hardware Address: 00:06:29:6b:49:c4
Elapsed Time: 0 days 1 hours 43 minutes 43 seconds
...
Adapter Specific Statistics:
----------------------------
Additional Driver Flags: Autonegotiate
Entries to transmit timeout routine: 0
Firmware Level: 12.4.15
Transmit and Receive Flow Control Status: Enabled
Link Status: Up
Media Speed Selected: Autonegotiation
Media Speed Running: 1000 Mbps Full Duplex
Packets with Transmit collisions:
I confirmed the driver was installed, together with an updated diag fileset
devices.pci.14100401.rte 4.3.3.75 COMMITTED Gigabit Ethernet-SX PCI
devices.pci.14100401.diag
4.3.3.52 COMMITTED Gigabit Ethernet-SX PCI Adapter Diagnostics
but in essence the adapter hears but does not talk (broadcast).
spray to a gateway reveals;
sending 1162 packets of lnth 86 to 0xa34c9fe ...
1162 packets (100.000%) dropped by 0xa34c9fe
0 packets/sec, 0 bytes/sec
Anyone seen this behaviour (form the dim and distant past presumerably) or have I blundered with a prerequisite or, having attached to a laptop with a corss-over cable and got no response) have I simply got a duff HBA?
Ta!
