Hi, im running 15-STABLE on my server.
I have switch connection over DAC to HPE FLR 560 SFP+ (Intel 82599ES).
Ifconfig reports the interface as SIMPLEX, but why? SIMPLEX is when only one side can transmit. But mediaopt says full-duplex.
What does it mean?
The ix0 has vlans that are bridged.
t@z440:~ # ifconfig ix0
ix0: flags=1008943<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST,LOWER_UP> metric 0 mtu 1500
options=4e138bb<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,JUMBO_MTU,VLAN_HWCSUM,WOL_UCAST,WOL_MCAST,WOL_MAGIC,VLAN_HWFILTER,RXCSUM_IPV6,TXCSUM_IPV6,HWSTATS,MEXTPG>
ether 5c:b9:01:93:3e:24
media: Ethernet autoselect (10Gbase-Twinax <full-duplex,rxpause,txpause>)
