I recently acquired a second heand Supermicro 2027GR-TRF with a Super X9DRG-HF motherboard. I can't access the network and I don't understand why. Both RJ45 ports are blinking green steadily.
Here what I tried to do:
- Bios has been updated and restored to optimized default configuration
- I tested the RJ45 straight through wire
- I tested different ports on the switch that are working (Netgear prosafe)
The dmesg
doesn't output anything relevant. Same with the commands lshw -class network
and lspci | grep -i 'network|ethernet'
.
The only good news is that I see both ports using the command dmidecode --type 8
.
I don't know where to go from there, I tried to see if something in particular in the BIOS was disabled and didn't find anything relevant. I search the web for equivalent issues without success until now. If anyone would have pointers on what's wrong or other obvious tests I've missed to perform would be a great start.
I should mentioned that I have another server with same features that works fine and I didn't find discrepancies in the configuration (but, once again I may have missed something obvious).
Thanks a lot for your help and I hope my post is clear enough, Matt
