Configure Dual SFP+ PCI Card with Proxmox - Intel X520-DA2

[fsociety3765]

Hi all,

I've actually had this card installed since the offset but not had it connected or the setup. I would like to get it set up now and I have connected both fibre links to my switch.

In PVE I have a total of 4 physical interfaces showing which would be correct given that the motherboard has two RJ45 LAN sockets.



The two ports on the SFP+ card must be enp185s0f0 and enp185s0f1. I have set them to autostart and restarted the server. They are flashing away so seem to be active but they don't seem to be picking up any addresses.

I don't want to mess around too much with the network settings without knowing exactly what I'm doing as I don't want to end up losing access to the web interface.

I'm guessing I need to add or edit a config file somewhere?

What I would like to do is create a bond with them. I would also like to create a bond with the other two ports. One for PVE and another for the VM's. Does that make sense? I think I read on the wiki that when setting up a cluster it's best to have an interface for each. I'm not setting up the cluster right now but I am just thinking ahead and would like to get this done now.

Thanks,

FS

So ... the issue is with 3rd party transceivers, essentially you need to work your way through this thread to see if you have Intel or in my case Dell versions of the X520-DA2 ...
