Fresh Install, Unable to Connect to Proxmox Web UI

[faded_giant]

I installed Proxmox 8.1 on Supermicro x11sph-ctf MB, and am not able to get the system to play with my home network. My Gateway (verified) is 192.168.1.254. the DHCP range is 192.168.1.64 – 192.168.1.253, so I chose 192.168.1.10. I have used multiple cables, which all I verified work with other devices. I have tried switching between eno1 and eno2 (im not sure which one is the 10gbe device) but both show NO-CARRIER regardless. The Ethernet status lights are on. Anyone have any pointers or experience getting proxmox to work on this MB?

You can try to force interface to UP state:

. Using "ip"
Usage:

# ip link set dev <interface> up
# ip link set dev <interface> down
Example:


# ip link set dev eth0 up
# ip link set dev eth0 down

If you are still stuck with "no carrier", then either you have a bad switch port, a bad cable or a bad NIC. The last possibility is that you have a Realtek chipset based card which has a compatibility issue with Kernel (search : proxmox realtek).

You can also try to boot from Ubuntu live image and see if that gets the NIC up.
But, in general, your config has all the basic needed lines. There is nothing else you can add to make it detect CARRIER from a software side.

So I took a look at the MB manual (its a x11sph-nctpf, not x11sph-ctf), and I was plugged into the IPMI port. The board has two SFP+ ports, for which I do not have a tranciever module for. Im assuming these are actually eno1 and eno2. the manual says it has an Inphi CS4227 for the SFP+ ports. If i order a transciever, should it work after that?

It should. Of course this statement comes with no warranty, expressed or implied.

Sometimes IMPI ports can be shared with OS, check your BIOS for those options.

Good luck
