Dell R310 and Intel Gigabit ET Dual Port Server Adapter


Thank you, Jeff, for your assistance regarding the firmware update.  The
DRAC reboot worked perfectly.

On to one of the reasons that I was attempting to perform this update...

Our Dell R310 has two onboard Broadcomm NICs and one Intel Gigabit ET
Dual Port Server Adapter.  The two Broadcomm ports work fine.  

I have cables connected to both ports on the Intel card.  The cables are
connected to two different subnets.  Our up-to-date RHEL6.3 installation
acknowledges their existence and associates 4 interfaces with the two Intel
ports (left port = eth0/eth1, right port = eth2/eth3).  However, only one of
the ports (the right one) and its two Linux interfaces appear to be recognized
as being up.

Re: Dell R310 and Intel Gigabit ET Dual Port Server Adapter


Would the described behavior be the result of having MSI support enabled?
