Thermostaten Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Hi, my Pineapple Tetra only negotiates 100 Mbit when i plug it in to a switch 😕 I am hoping some one here can help me figure out why ? When I plug my Tetra in to a switch, or my PC (using the RJ45 ethernet on the Tetra and a RJ45 plug on the PC), then the link negotiates at only 100 mbit (I testet with both a switch and pc that are capable of running 1000 mbit with the same result where the Tetra negotiate only 100 Mbit) - I can also see that the LED above the RJ45 ethernet connection (at the Tetra) is orange (indicating 100 Mbit) When I plug in something else in to my PC or the same port in the switch that i tested the tetra with before it negotiates fine with anoter device at 1000mbit so I do not think the problem resides on the switch / PC side. When I SSH to the tetra and run the ethtool eth0 it cant show the speed (for unknown reasons) where as the eth1 (i think that is the LAN connection via the USB cable that is part of the bridge device br-lan) shows negotiations of 100mbit full duplex (see output of commands below - the tetra hostname has been renamed to gateway) # WAN: root@gateway:/etc/config# ethtool eth0 Settings for eth0: Cannot get device settings: No such device Current message level: 0x000000ff (255) drv probe link timer ifdown ifup rx_err tx_err Link detected: yes # LAN: root@gateway:/etc/config# ethtool eth1 Settings for eth1: Supported ports: [ TP MII ] Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Full Supported pause frame use: No Supports auto-negotiation: Yes Advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Full Advertised pause frame use: No Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes Link partner advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full Link partner advertised pause frame use: Symmetric Receive-only Link partner advertised auto-negotiation: Yes Speed: 100Mb/s Duplex: Full Port: MII PHYAD: 4 Transceiver: external Auto-negotiation: on Current message level: 0x000000ff (255) drv probe link timer ifdown ifup rx_err tx_err Link detected: yes On the PC where the eth0 is the WAN interface connected via a 10 cm ethernet cobber cable (cat 6e): # PC WAN: norman@router:~$ ethtool eth0 Settings for eth0: Supported ports: [ TP ] Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Full Supported pause frame use: Symmetric Supports auto-negotiation: Yes Advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Full Advertised pause frame use: Symmetric Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes Speed: 100Mb/s Duplex: Full Port: Twisted Pair PHYAD: 1 Transceiver: internal Auto-negotiation: on MDI-X: off (auto) Supports Wake-on: pumbg Wake-on: g Current message level: 0x00000007 (7) drv probe link Link detected: yes ---- norman@router:~$ ifconfig eth0 eth0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 10.16.42.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 10.16.42.255 ether M:A:C:R:E:M:O:V:E:D txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet) RX packets 419 bytes 38020 (37.1 KiB) RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 720 bytes 482140 (470.8 KiB) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 device memory 0x80200000-8021ffff And the PC see's the USB connection as a netcard that is called eth2 - it looks like this: # PC LAN: root@router:~# ethtool eth2 Settings for eth2: Supported ports: [ TP MII ] Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full Supported pause frame use: No Supports auto-negotiation: Yes Advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full Advertised pause frame use: Symmetric Receive-only Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes Link partner advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full Link partner advertised pause frame use: No Link partner advertised auto-negotiation: Yes Speed: 100Mb/s Duplex: Full Port: MII PHYAD: 32 Transceiver: internal Auto-negotiation: on Supports Wake-on: pumbg Wake-on: g Current message level: 0x00007fff (32767) drv probe link timer ifdown ifup rx_err tx_err tx_queued intr tx_done rx_status pktdata hw wol Link detected: yes --- eth2: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 172.16.42.42 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 172.16.42.255 ether 00:13:37:xx:xx:xx txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet) RX packets 2283 bytes 1484420 (1.4 MiB) RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 2257 bytes 404820 (395.3 KiB) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 # The config of the Tetra looks like this: /etc/config/network: root@gateway:/etc/config# cat network |grep -v ^$ config interface 'loopback' option ifname 'lo' option proto 'static' option ipaddr '127.0.0.1' option netmask '255.0.0.0' config globals 'globals' option ula_prefix 'fda5:38d6:c95b::/48'config interface 'lan' option ifname 'eth1' option force_link '1' option type 'bridge' option proto 'static' option netmask '255.255.255.0' option ip6assign '60' option ipaddr '172.16.42.1' option gateway '172.16.42.42' option dns '10.16.42.1'config interface 'wan' <--- I have a DHCP server on the PC that gives this connection the IP 10.16.42.2 with the gateway 10.16.42.1 (the pc) where a dns server also resides. option ifname 'eth0' option proto 'dhcp' config interface 'wan6' option ifname 'eth0' option proto 'dhcpv6' config interface 'usb' option ifname 'usb0' option proto 'dhcp' config interface 'wwan' option proto 'dhcp' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
