Re: nic problems



Hi Ben,

Thanks for your answers.
I try all interfaces (not only eth2) but without succès.
After a hard reset of our server + your recommandations (ifconfig eth? up) I have the carrier on the eth3.
Now all work fine !
Many thanks for your help.

Regards
Guy

Hello

I have a problem with a blade server Siemens PrimeCenter with 2 switchs Gbe IBP (Gigabits Intelligent Blade panel) . This server has 2x3 nic's, but I can only setting up the 2 first interfaces, one by IBP.

Example
sFw01:~# ifup eth2
In my syslog  :
Sep 18 13:27:30 sFw01 kernel: [90584.043038] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth2: link is not ready
and the result of eth2 ip link say NO CARRIER.
4: eth2: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state DOWN qlen 1000
    link/ether 00:1b:24:5e:d1:cc brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

Our provider replace the blade but the problem persist, and he say that the problem come from Debian5.

I check the network cable :-) it is ok.

Are you sure that the cable was connected to the port named eth2?  The
interfaces might not be named in the order you expect.  If the ports
have visible LEDs, then 'ethtool -p eth2' should make eth2's LED blink.
Otherwise, bring up all the interfaces with ifconfig and then check
their link state.  Linux does not monitor or report the link state for
interfaces that have not been brought up.

If some of the ports really don't work under Debian 5.0, please file a
bug using reportbug.  Ask your provider which distributions are tested
and known to be working with this hardware, so we can compare the driver
versions.

Ben.
