NIC link is down

nanshui

Hi,

Model: GTI15 Ultra

Does anyone know why my NIC keeps dropping in the PVE kernel logs? Any idea how to fix this? Seems to randomly happen. I did research, it seems that similar issues happened on windows as well with E610-XT2. I have updated the bios to T204, and NVM and ixgbe driver to the latest, but no lucky there.

[ 1593.795429] ixgbe 0000:ac:00.0 enp172s0f0np0: NIC Link is Down
[ 1593.795672] vmbr0: port 1(enp172s0f0np0) entered disabled state
[ 1598.433393] ixgbe 0000:ac:00.0 enp172s0f0np0: NIC Link is Up 10 Gbps, Flow Control: None

[ 1598.433547] vmbr0: port 1(enp172s0f0np0) entered forwarding state

Below is the output of “ethtool -i enp172s0f0np0”
driver: ixgbe

nanshui Hi there,please send us a picture of SN on the bottom of the PC .
We recommend first trying the latest non-volatile memory (NVM) update package for Intel Ethernet E610 Series released by Intel official, which can optimize the compatibility and stability of the original Intel NIC chip.

You may update the T205 BIOS to test.
