Re: I217-V No connection with 100 full duplex setting

We found a solution to our issue with the i217-lm, assume it would be similar to the -v so worth a try.

 

Regardless of whether we set the NIC to 100mb/full, it still tried to auto neg and neg and 100mb/half, despite switch set to 100mb/full and not to auto neg.

 

To fix, search the registry for the key LinkNegotiationProcess, and set it to 2.

 

In our case there were 3 instances that need changing.

 

The default setting is 1, which is to auto negotiate. 2 is forced. This has solved the problem on all our HP EliteDesk 800s.

 

Reg keys if anyone is interested, for our Intel i217-LM NIC:

 

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

Hi,

 

I have recently bought X520 DP 10Gb DA/SFP+ ServerAdapter - Kit to go into Dell PowerEdge R210 II, however, this error message pops up after BIOS initialization and before OS start:

 

"Plug and play Configuration Error: Option ROM Shadow RAM Allocation error."

 

Although it can be skipped with key press, I would rather not have this error at all.

Could you please help me resolve this issue?

 

Thank you.

Re: Problem with Intel 82577LM Gigabit Network Adapter driver

I have seen these problems caused by power management software. Uncheck the option, " allow windows to turn off this device to save power."  For me, this solved problem on some 20 different machines with the same issue. To find this peculiar setting, In XP go to control panel, network connections, right mouse click your Network Connection, select properties, then configure, then Power Management, then uncheck "Allow the computer to turn offthis device to save power." Reboot and it should fix problem. This option is a severe driver bug and seems to be the same problem with every LAN Card or Wireless Internet card out there. By default the idiot operating system sets it checked. I go through all 20 of desktop and 10 laptops and uncheck it. NOTE: every time yournetwork card is updated with a new driver it again gets checked, so you must keep unchecking it on all PC's. Good Luck and cheers! Hope this helps. >>> SUCROMATIC

Intel x540-T2 adapter + ESXi 5.5 = Poor Transmit performance

January 30, 2014, 5:06 pm
$
0

I found an issue and I've narrowed it down to the Intel driver.

 

Just to show the work I've put into this:

- I used iperf to test the bandwidth on all server types (Physical Linux install and inside a VM)

- I have an existing VMware support ticket and we've worked it down to the driver.

- I tested the issue with three different x540-T2 adapters and a x520-DA2 adapter.

 

Problem: When a server with the intel x540-T2 adapter is connected at 10Gbps and tries to transmit to another server that is connected at 1Gbps, All flows out of the 10Gbps adapter drops to a max of 1Gbps until the 1Gbps flows stop.

Let me clarify a bit:

 

Server A has an Intel x540-T2 adapter and is connected at 10Gbps.

Server B has an Intel x540-T2 adapter and is connected at 10Gbps.

Server C has a HP Server adapter and is connected at 1Gbps.

 

I start a Transmit flow from Server A to Server B and I see the iperf session reach full line rate (10Gbps)

I start a concurrent iperf flow From server A to Server C.

My expectation is that Server A will continue to transmit at 10Gbps (total), Server B will drop down 1Gbps to (8-9Gbps) to allow bandwidth for the 1Gbps flow to Server C.

BUT, this does not happen.

Server A will flop down to 1.5Gbps transmit and Server B and Server C will now receive 500-700Mbps until the flow to Server C stops then the flow from Server A to Server B goes back to 10Gbps.

 

Driver data:

If I use driver version 3.7.13.7  this problem does not exist!  Everything works as expected and Server A continues to transmit at 10Gbps while Server B drops to 8Gbps+ and Server C receives at a full 1Gbps.

If I Update to any version after that, it has the transmit flop.

Driver Version 3.7.13.7 is the default driver used in the ESXi 5.5 build 1331820 install ISO.

 

Newer version tested: (these are listed as compatible with ESXi 5.5 on the VMware compatibility guide)

3.15.1.8

3.18.7

3.19.1

 

Some extra info from ESXi cli:

Things to note here are the VID and DID are still being detected correctly as 8086 and 1528.

Any thoughts or questions?

I have a ton of screen shots if needed to prove the case.

Hi, I have recently bought a i350-T4 NIC, and flash the iscsi boot agent into it (18.8 version)

 

After reboot , the rom said   "error : no iscsi boot port available" and don't have the ctrl +d to do configuration.

search on the internet but cannot find any information about this problem.

 

i tried to use the intel CT adapter before and don't have this problem.

just press ctrl+ D to configure and connect to the iscsi target.

 

Could you please help me resolve this issue?

Thanks

I217-V limitted connection

I'm not sure if this is good category. If not- im sorry.

Hi,

Couple days ago i just bought a new computer (Asrock z87 extreme3, intel i5-4670k...). So i buit it by myself, everything went alright, settings, then i installed windows 7 x64. So then was time for drivers which i installed from CD, i was really happy, until i plug in rj-45 into. Connection is limited to 2 Mbps download and 0.03 Mbps upload, which i have connection 30 mbps / 3Mbps. Router is Linksys wrt54GL which have nothing to do, becouse when i unplug cable and plug into my laptop (hp g62-b45ew Win 7 x86) i have connection 30/3 Mbps.

 

I was using drivers from attached disc, so i download the newest from asrock site. I remove old drivers, install new, and nothing have change. I also download the newest drivers from intel site ( its internet adapter intel ethernet connection I217-V)- nothing have change.

 

What should i do ? Is it becouse im using win7 instead of win8 ? I really don't want to change os and make format.

 

Here are prove:

1. Cable in laptop:

Operating system: Windows 7 SP1 x64.

Hardware: Hp Elite 8300 CMT Desktop with Integrated Intel® 82579LM GbE Network Connection (supporting vPro remote management technologies).

 

The Question?

Teaming can be applied between  Intel Gigabit CT PCI-E and the built in NIC mentioned above?

or shall be 2 NIC (Intel Gigabit CT PCI-E)?.

 

I ordered the 10 PCs and i am confused in ordering the NIC shall it be 10 or 20?

my application requires  dual lan support teaming to setup one ip and use the load balancing,link aggregation...etc.

I'm having same problems. I have packet loss every few x10K packets.

 

I tried using winXP 32 SP3, win 7, most updated drivers (OCT 2013) and BIOS.

 

Is there any update with the Packet loss issue of 82579LM?

A follow-up to the thread in case anyone is looking....

 

An option rom is exactly what is needed here, but is unavailable via ipxe project (which what the rom-o-matic uses).

Until it gets pulled in, there is no support.

Intel 82579LM Gigabit Ethernet - Small Packet Loss

February 16, 2014, 12:47 am

Hi,

 

my issue seems to be related to Intel 82579LM Gigabit Ethernet - UDP Packet Loss, but in my case, small TCP packets get lost every couple of seconds.

 

In my case, a DELL Latitude E6520 notebook communicates with a WAGO I/O-System device via Modbus TCP at a "high" rate of small packets (TCP_NODELAY), i. e. around 1000 packets per second (9.58 % of size 66 byte on wire, 90.42 % of size 117 or 119 byte on wire according to Wireshark).

 

Every couple of seconds, it happens that a reply of the WAGO device doesn't appear on the notebook, causing a delay of magnitude 3 compared to the normal packet exchange, which severely impacts the hardware controlled by the WAGO device.

 

Notebook and WAGO device are connected by a D-Link DGS-1210-16 switch. Activating port mirroring on the notebook port and running Wireshark on an different PC connected to the mirror port reveals, that the reply of the WAGO device is actually sent to the notebook, but the notebook doesn't see it and therefore the TCP stack on the notebook requests a retransmission after a delay of about 1 second.

 

I currently work around this issue by mirroring the sent packets of the WAGO device to the notebook port on the switch.

 

The notebook is running with current BIOS and is connected to the mains. Recent Intel network drivers are installed, using default settings. Diagnostics doesn't reveal anything bad.

 

What can I further do, to get that issue fixed?

 

Thanks in advance. Bye.

No ehternet adapter found

Hello everyone.

After cloning MAC adress on my Ethernet adapter Intel 82577LC, the error PXE-E05 occured (in OS windows 8.1 the ethernet adapter was with yellow exclamation mark and led on the adapter had blinked).

I found in the internet the solution, using IBAUTIL in MS-DOS mode to set default configuration .

After setting to default by using "IBAUTIL -NIC=1 -devcfg" my adapter is down.

No one LED blinks and in the device manager is not found (only wifi is found).

I tried once again to use IBAUTIL, but there write error "No supported network adapters found".

In BIOS I tried to set diffirent configuration, defaults settings, but still the network adapter is not found.

I tried also to remove battery for 10 minut, but nothing happened.

 

Could you mind help me with this problem.

Hi,

 

I did some further investigation. Running

 

     netstat -e 3

 

showed that every couple of seconds, the number of received packets in category dropped and error increased slightly.

 

Searching for DGS-1210 and 82579LM yields a D-Link document which states a known problem during auto negotiation with hardware revision B of DGS-1210 (mine is revision A) and that NIC, which can be solved by disabling power saving (i. e. EEE) on the switch.

 

So I disabled power saving on the switch and as a result, netstat stopped increasing the number of packets in category error and dropped. Finally, I've also disabled EEE on the NIC as suggested in the other thread (which on its own didn't solve the issue yesterday).

 

The system seems to have no frames dropped during the past 5 hours.

 

Bye.

Re: Intel Gigabit CT Desktop Adapters all stop seeing other computers and server

Dear Guys,

 

I ran into similar problem too. I just bought a Supermicro server that has 540 family network adapters. I instaled twice Windows 7 Pro 64bit trying to solve this issue. In fact, this server works normally but in the network, it sees only computers with Intel network adapters. This network has a Cisco RV042G Router that gives corectly IP to all computers. The router connects to lan to a Cisco wireless AP and a HP Procurve 1810 switch.

All computers are connected to that switch except a vaio laptop that has a Intel Pro WIFI network adapter and which is connected to the AP. Connected to the HP switch are Supermicro server (Intel 540 10Gbps), ASROCK MB computer (Broadcom Network adapter). A Synology NAS, A Qnap NAS, Another Asrock/Broadcom computer, 3 wireles/wired printers.

But in network I can only see the Vaio laptop that has a Intel adapter. I also can conect the other computers by conecting them in computer \\COMPUTERNAME and connect to their shares.

The only thing is that they are not listed in network except vaio...

It seem that this is definitevly a driver issue.

Any attempt to reach Intel support results in, "Vmware is out of our scope of support."

I will continue to work on the issue.

Until then I would avoid any new purchase of this adapter if Intel refuses to support it.
