Hi All

I am having a networking issue after a reboot on a Gentoo box. The machine has 3 NIC, but only 2 are currently used.

Code:
eth0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500
        inet x.x.x.x  netmask 255.255.255.248  broadcast x.x.x.x
        inet6 fe80::21b:21ff:fe14:b346  prefixlen 64  scopeid 0x20<link>
        ether 00:1b:21:14:b3:46  txqueuelen 1000  (Ethernet)
        RX packets 10640035  bytes 10237088942 (9.5 GiB)
        RX errors 0  dropped 0  overruns 0  frame 0
        TX packets 9030419  bytes 1814659462 (1.6 GiB)
        TX errors 0  dropped 0 overruns 0  carrier 0  collisions 0

eth1: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500
        inet 192.168.15.254  netmask 255.255.255.0  broadcast 192.168.15.255
        inet6 fe80::92e2:baff:fe1a:d60  prefixlen 64  scopeid 0x20<link>
        ether 90:e2:ba:1a:0d:60  txqueuelen 1000  (Ethernet)
        RX packets 9522791  bytes 1761964059 (1.6 GiB)
        RX errors 8  dropped 18  overruns 0  frame 4
        TX packets 13206014  bytes 18539798930 (17.2 GiB)
        TX errors 0  dropped 0 overruns 0  carrier 0  collisions 0



After a reboot, the network adapters change around. To resolve I unplug the LAN and WAN Cables from the Gentoo box. Start a ping to the router and plug the wan cable back in and swap ports till I get a reply and then do the same with the LAN part of the network.

There are 3 files under /etc/udev/rules.d
70-my-persistent-net.rules
70-persistent-cd.rules
70-persistent-net.rules

Thanks in Advance.

What's in '70-my-persistent-net.rules' and '70-persistent-net.rules'? Why do you have two?

Migrating from netifrc to using dhcpcd ans your network manager should help avoiding such problems, see https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Network_management_using_DHCPCD.

Could you check your output of dmesg?
Quote:
$ dmesg | grep 'network interface'

(you should get something like:)
[ 8.132263] systemd-udevd[268]: renamed network interface wlan0 to wlp8s0
[ 8.160220] systemd-udevd[264]: renamed network interface eth0 to enp2s14

Also, how do the network adapters show in lspci -k?

I don't know where there is 2 files there

"70-my-persistent-net.rules"
Code:
# PCI device 0x8086:0x107c (e1000)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="90:e2:ba:1a:0d:60", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth0"

They look identical to me.

2 of the NICS are PCIE cards and the one is the onboard.

I don't think udev has been updated to the latest version yet.

I've run into something similar with motherboard LAN and add-in cards.

If you don't use the lan on the MB (I'm assuming this
Quote:

is built into the MB)
- disable it in BIOS.

This seems messy.
You have references to device 0x107c four times in two files with two different MAC addresses.
Clean up time? I would double check these MAC values.

Thanks for help so far charles17 and digifuzzy

charles17
Code:
 # dmesg | '02:01.0\|02:02.0\|00:19.0'

Does not produce an output.

I will go through both files and clean them up. I think the hardrive has been swapped into a different box previsouly which could be part of the mess.

I was thinking of teaming the 2 add-in Nics for the LAN, and use the Onboard NIC for the WAN. When I look at the network stats on the switch, on the port the gentoo box is connected to it shows :
Code:

Transmitted Pause Frames : 48655
Received Pause Frames : 824


Would teaming the 2 nics on the Lan side improve Network performance ?

Thanks again.

YMMV. But it could be messy in the routing if you're not careful.
I use shorewall (iptables front end/firewall) to help with managing that kind of stuff.

I decided to remove one of the PCI Network cards that was not being used.

I deleted the net.eth2 from /etc/init.d/

I used ifconfig to get the MAC addresses of the 2 NICs that are being used. I checked in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-my-persistent-net.rules, I commented out eth2 which was a mac address no longer being used.

After a couple of reboots the system was stable and I did not have to change network cables between the router and LAN around.
