Dipper315 Posted January 3, 2021 Share #1 Posted January 3, 2021 (edited) Recently I upgraded my router to QNAP QHora301W router with 2x 10Gbe network port. To utilize the new 10Gbe network ports, I installed a Supermicro Intel X540-T2 network card into my Xpenlogy NAS. I then booted the system with the 1 onboard NIC (Intel I219V or Intel I211AT) connected, and confirmed the system picked up the two new ports on the X540-T2. So I wired a CAT7 wire between the router and the NAS. After the physical wire was setup, although there are blinking lights on both sides and router management page shows a 10Gbe link is established, Synology side shows the port as disconnected. What step I can do in SSH to troubleshoot or attempt the get them working? Hardware Configuration: Intel Core i7-8700T (ES) ASRock Z390M-ITX/ac Supermicro Intel X540-T2 Bootloader Configuration: Jun's v1.04b DS918+ with v0.13.3 with NVMe Patch on DSM 6.2.3-25426 Update 3 Thanks.

Dipper315 Posted January 4, 2021 Author Share #3 Posted January 4, 2021 (edited) Thanks for pointing me to the right place. I got the card to function. I will just briefly recap what I did that worked for me so that others that might encounter a similar issue knows what to do. Pre-requisite: Set MAC1-MAC4 in grub file (For my use case) 1. SSH into the NAS and type the following. Quote lspci -k 2. Look for NIC in question. In my case a X540-T2 with 2 ports, so it showed up as "ixgbe" 0000:01:00.0 Class 0200: Device 8086:1528 (rev 01) Subsystem: Device 15d9:0734 Kernel driver in use: ixgbe 0000:01:00.1 Class 0200: Device 8086:1528 (rev 01) Subsystem: Device 15d9:0734 Kernel driver in use: ixgbe 3. Since the card showed up with the correct drive loaded. I proceeded to modify the synoinfo.conf (in /etc AND /etc.defaults) Change maxlanport from 2 to 8 Original maxlanport="2" Modified maxlanport="8" Added the followings to the end eth4_mtu="1500" eth5_mtu="1500" eth6_mtu="1500" eth7_mtu="1500" 4. Save and rebooted the device. After performing these steps, I got X540-T2 to function. Results below: Hopefully somebody will find my recap useful. Thanks IG-88 for the prompt reply.
