Intel 10 GbE cards (ixgbe)

Hi all,

Although the ixgbe driver appears to have code for both 82598 and 82599
chipsets, the manual page stil lists only 82598 based cards as officially
supported. Does anybody have first-hand experiences with 82599 based cards
and recent versions of the ixgbe driver (-CURRENT, 9.0, 8.3)?

Thanks,

Marko

We are using about 10-15 of them without issues on 8.3 and 9.0 STABLE :

ix0@pci0:6:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0x7a118086 chip=0x10fb8086 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Intel Corporation'
device = '82599EB 10-Gigabit SFI/SFP+ Network Connection'
class = network
subclass = ethernet
ix1@pci0:6:0:1: class=0x020000 card=0x7a118086 chip=0x10fb8086 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Intel Corporation'
device = '82599EB 10-Gigabit SFI/SFP+ Network Connection'
class = network
subclass = ethernet

Earlier versions had some issues with vlan tagged traffic, but now they seem pretty stable here.

Hi Marko,

I had working on bpf multiqueue support with 82599 in last year(on
-CURRENT), there's no issue for me.

We recently bought one:

ix0@pci0:34:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0xa02c8086 chip=0x151c8086 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Intel Corporation'
device = '82599EB 10 Gigabit TN Network Connection'
class = network
subclass = ethernet
ix1@pci0:34:0:1: class=0x020000 card=0xa02c8086 chip=0x151c8086 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Intel Corporation'
device = '82599EB 10 Gigabit TN Network Connection'
class = network
subclass = ethernet

It's currently used on 9.0 for benchmarking another box. Never had any
problems. Can someone say whether the X540 support in CURRENT is stable?

Re: Intel 10 GbE cards (ixgbe)

The 82599 is and has been officially supported for some time, the manual
tends to lag, I will try and get it updated. In fact, given a choice I
would always
go with the 599. And yes, the X540 should be stable, its just not yet being
used as much yet.

Re: Intel 10 GbE cards (ixgbe)

Funny, since I own the driver, one would think I'd know :)

If you go look in the source directory for ixgbe you'll find a couple files
in there: ixgbe_x540.[ch]. That should be a clue...

Re: Intel 10 GbE cards (ixgbe)

Just so everyone is clear, the ixgbe driver in 8.3 has X540 support, as
well as HEAD,
stable/9 has not yet been MFC'd, its on my 'todo' list.

Re: Intel 10 GbE cards (ixgbe)

In reply to this post by Jack Vogel

Hi,
I KNOW you own the driver,i just mentioned that because its not listed on
intel's site,and that would be a base for decisions
when someone want to pick a card that works on fbsd:)
so its better get listed as well, no one is going to check *.c files.
