[OmniOS-discuss] Onboard Intel X540-T2 10gbe NIC shows 1gbit

[Rune Tipsmark]

Ok , had a chance to loop the cables now, the second I loop the 2 ports on my Windows server it brings it up as 10gbit as expected.
OmniOS still brings it up as 1gbit, tried changing cables as well.

Next stop must be a support case with SM I suppose.

Did you have the exact same motherboard Ian?

I have the same combination of hardware (about a year old) and 
everything works fine as 10G with Solaris or Illumos at either end.

 From the OmniOS end:

ixgbe1       Ethernet             up         10000  full      ixgbe1

There's a SmartOS box at the other end:

ixgbe0       Ethernet             up         10000  full      ixgbe0
