Good Day

I have problem one of the network cards not able to serve IP to the network with dhcp.

I have the following hardware
Minisforum MS-01 with i9-13900H, 96 RAM and 2x 2TB M.2 SSD in Raid1 the includes wi-fi card and an additional Intel Network Card I350T4V2 PCI-Express x4

Installed on it is Proxmox VE 8.4.1 no active subscription. Proxmox recognizes all network devices correctly from what i can tell.
On it runs Sophos Firewall as a VM. It uses the home / evaluation license.

I can add the lan adapter to the sophos vm fine and the all show up. If i setup and enable dhcp on sophos it distributes the ip from the dhcp fin over all except one of the 2.5Gbit port..

Proxmox liste the nerwork devices as:
1Gbit Ports: enp1s0f0 to enp1s0f3
2.5Gbit Ports: enp88s0 & enp91s0

The port wich the dhcp distribution dosent work is enp91s0.

I i set enp91s0 as the lan interface os sophos and give my pc a fix ip i can acces the webinterface of the sophos vm. If i set the network adapter to dhcp on my pic i get an ip lik 169.254.225.x.

If i change switch the ethernet calbe to the other lan port enp88s0 and switch the bridge port of the linux bridge in proxmo to enp88s0 an aply the config. the devices insantly get an ip from the dhcp from the sophos vm.

The interface enp91s0 can receive an ip from dhcp but cant distribute it.

I found some article online that this is ap oblem becaut of the ASPM. I checkt the bios and it,s disabled for all network devices.

Both interfaces are set the same in /etc/network/interface

iface enp88s0 inet manual
#Lan_2.5G_1

iface enp91s0 inet manual
#Lan_2.5G_2


Does any one hav an idea how ot fix this?

Same issue here. I’m using windows server and pfsense and neither of them distribute IP’s to network clients when acting as DHCP server. Did you ever find a solution?

Sadly no. Tried different settings in the bios and even re-installing proxmox ve. It's still not working with distributing dhcp over that one port.

Thanks for the reply. fwiw I had to use a cheap mini pc that cost a quarter of what the MS-01’s cost for pfsense and it worked beautifully. thanks again.
 
The problem is a bug in the I226 LM Interface from INTEL. It is probably the interface that is also the AMT interface (remote administration via mesh commander). The adapter swallows the DHCP Offer packet and thinks it is an AMT telegram.

Have you installed an M2 in the 3rd slot (the one that can also be used for a U2 hard drive)? For me, the error only occurred after I installed another NVME M2 SSD there. Before that, it was still working.

You may be able to solve the problem by deactivating AMT in the bios and preferably also the ASPM.

For more details, see the following post, as I also had:
