Hi, I connected server 10GBase-T port to switch 10GBase-T port with Cat.7 STP cable(length 1m).

Two interfaces are up at 1Gbps speed not at 10Gbps.

= Motherboard: Supermicro X10SDV-4C-TLN4F

- CPU: Intel Xeon D-1518

- LAN: 2x 1GbE via i350-AM2

2x 10GbE via SoC(x552/x557 AT?)

- OS: FreeBSD 11.0-RC1, CentOS x86_64 1511

- Driver: ix-3.1.13k(FreeBSD), ix-3.1.14(CentOS)

I tried ix-3.1.14 driver installation under FreeBSD but failed to compile.

= Switch: HPE OfficeConnect 1950 24G 2SFP+ 2XGT Switch(JG960A)

- 24x 1GbE port(1-24)

- 2x 10GbE port(27, 28)

After connecting two 10GbE port of server mother board with Cat.7 STP cable, both inferfaces are up at 10Gbps.

Also connecting two switch 10GbE port with same cable, both interfaces are up at 10Gbps.

But connecting server port and switch port, all are up at 1Gbps.

It seems auto-negotiation not work well.

Hi Ssoo,

 

 

Thank you for the confirmation. I apologize for missing out the previous thread that you already tested the back to back connection.

Hi wb,

I returned HPE http://www8.hp.com/us/en/products/networking-switches/product-detail.html%3Foid%3D6887535 1950 24G 2XFP+ 2XGT (JG960A) to HP Korea and borrowed Netgear http://www.netgear.com/business/products/switches/smart/S3300-28X.aspx%23tab-techspecs S3300-28X (GS728TX) from Negear Korea.

I did additional tests with Netgear Korea and Netgear gave me revised firmware.

It seems the revised firmware solved link speed issue. Both interfaces are up with 10Gbps link speed.

How to make HPE to revise their firmware? They disappointed me.

Anyway, thank you for your help.

rgds,

ssoo

Hi Ssoo,

 

 

 

Thank you for the update and I am sorry to hear what happened, you need to contact HP* the switch vendor for the switch firmware upgrade in case you want to use the switch. For the meantime, any further assistance needed or other inquiry?

 

 

rgds,
