XG Home interface issues

I switched from UTM 9.x to the (for me) new XG Home.

Its an old PC working under UTM perfect with

- 2x 1port 1Gb Cards (cant remember from which company, nothing on the cards)

- 1x 4port 1Gb Card HP NC364T

Now, after installing XG Home, the boot screen shows (see below):

Total number of interfaces: 6

but i cant connect to the firewall on any port, doesn’t matter which card.

Only if i remove the 4port card i can connect to the firewall, just want know if its the Intel problem?

be irritated because the Boot screen shows correct number of interfaces.

  • with the 1x 4port 1Gb Card HP NC364T he switches Port 1-4 to this interface and i can connect to it.

    Website shows me all interfaces, but with ethtool he shows me on Port5 and Port6: Link detected: no

    doesnt matter if the cable is in or not

  • I cannot follow your comment.

    You should use the console and do one cable per interface and check, which of the Port Numbers this port actually is. 

  • if the 1x 4port 1Gb Card HP NC364T is attached, he switches Port1 and Port2 (before on 2 1x1GBit interfaces) to the 1x 4port 1Gb Card HP NC364T. It shows on Port1-4 ports Link detected: yes from up to down on the HP interface.

    it seems the 2x 1GBit are now on Port5 and Port6 but shows now: Link detection:no doesn’t matter if a cable is connected or not. only the green Led shines on these both interfaces if the HP interface is atteched.

    Port7 i dont have and ethtool shows me it doesnt exist, so i think Port1 and Port2 without the HP is now Port 5 or 6.

  • You should re do this with only one cable. Then take a notepad and map every result. This should give you an idea, what is going on. 

  • i used only 1 cable and i maped every result.

    Doesn’t matter which Port i try in ethtool, if the cable is in one of the both 1x1GBit i only got Link detected:no

    Only if the HP interface is attached too. ;(
