Hello John,

Attached is a tarball 'igbPnioInfo.tgz' (13824 bytes) that contains five text files:

lspci.txt: Updated lspci info (lspci -vv, -n, and -nn), the previous lspci data was limited because I forgot to run as root.

ethtool.noPromisc: Output from 'ethtool -d' with promiscuous mode disabled. The output from ethtool was captured once a second for approx 15 seconds while the PNIO devices were trying to connect.

ethtool.withPromisc: Output from 'ethtool -d' as promiscuous mode was enabled and the PNIO devices were able to connect. The output from ethtool was captured once a second for approx 20 seconds. Initially, promiscuous mode is not enabled (first 3-5 seconds), then enabled and wait until all connections completed successfully.

netstat.noPromisc: Output from 'netstat -s --raw' with promiscuous mode disabled. The output from netstat was captured once a second for approx 20 seconds while the PNIO devices were trying to connect.

netstat.withPromisc: Output from 'netstat -s --raw' as promiscuous mode was enabled and the PNIO devices were able to connect. The output was captured once a second for approx 20 seconds. Initially, promiscuous mode is not enabled (first 3-5 seconds), then enabled and wait until all connections completed successfully.

Hello John,

Thanks for the reply. The attached file 'lspci.txt' contains the outputs
from 'lspci -vv' and 'lspci -nn'. The '-vv' output is first, followed by
the vendor and device codes. I'll send the ethtool and netstat next.

Thanks,
Greg

OK, please get us the 'lspci -nn' data. The output from the both the
ethtool and netstat commands would also help. We just want to see how
the HW and stack see these non-ip packets.

Thanks.

Cheers,
John

Subject: Re: [E1000-devel] Intel(R) Gigabit ET Quad Port Server Adapter
does not work with PROFINET


Hello John,

I ran 'ethtool -S' and 'netstat -s' in an attempt to determine where
the packets are being dropped. When the packets are being dropped the
ethtool packet counts are less than 10 per second and the netstat
packet counts are less than 1 per second. When I enable promiscuous
mode the ethtool packet counts increased significantly to almost 100
per second.
Initially, when the mode changed, I did see an increase of a dozen or
so packets via netstat (probably from the two PNIO devices that were
finally able to connect), but there was no change in the steady-
state/periodic 'netstat' statistics. Note that the PNIO protocol
primarily consists of non-IP packets. This is a private physical
network so almost all the traffic is PROFINET related (i.e. other than
a few RSTP, MCAST, etc. packets broadcast from the managed switches).
Let me know if this is the information you need, or if there is
anything else I can do to help further troubleshoot this issue.

Thanks,
Greg

Hello John,

Thanks for the reply. The device ID is 'E1G44ETBLK' (i.e. Intel
Gigabit ET Quad Port Server Adapter E1G44ET with the 82576
controller). We are also having the same problem with the Intel
adapters located on the motherboard (with the 82575EB controller).

All the packets are received correctly in promiscuous mode. But
without promiscuous mode some of the PROFINET packets are dropped
(e.g. packets from managed PROFINET switches are received correctly,
but packets from PROFINET bus couplers are dropped).

We only seem to have this problem with Intel NICs that use the
'82575/6'
controller and/or the 'igb' driver. We tried to do some investigation
using wireshark. I can provide capture files if you think it would be
helpful. Otherwise, I'll see if I can determine if it is the HW or
the
stack that is dropping/filtering the packets. Thanks for the help, I
appreciate your cooperation.

Thanks,
Greg

Sorry to hear of you issue. We need the exact device ID for the
NIC's
to start with. So you are saying that even in promiscuous mode the
packets are not received correct? Where are the packets being
dropped?
By the HW or by the stack? You can use ethtool and netstat to see
where they are being dropped.

Let us know about the ID and if you can find where the packets are
being dropped.

Thanks.

Cheers,
John

Subject: [E1000-devel] Intel(R) Gigabit ET Quad Port Server Adapter
does not work with PROFINET



Customer_type: Developer/Designer
Product: Intel(R) Gigabit ET Quad Port Server Adapter
OS: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.0*
Kernel: linux-2.6.18-128.el5PAE
Distribution_Version: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.3
(Tikanga)
Issue_Other_Versions: Yes
Driver_Version: igb-3.0.22
Issue: We recently purchased two 'Intel(R) Gigabit ET Quad Port Svr
Adptr' cards for a large industrial control system. The NIC works
fine for most ethernet traffic, but rejects certain PROFINET
packets. These packets can only be received if 'promiscuous' mode
is
enabled. The packets that are rejected are less than 200 bytes, but
do use the standard PROFINET VLAN field. Other PROFINET packets are
received fine.
The network is private and dedicated to PROFINET traffic. The
server
does not need a VLAN configuration. We replaced the card with an
older single-port PRO/1000 NIC (i.e. uses the e1000e driver) and
the
problem disappears. Other 3-Com and Broadcom NICs also work
correctly. We need to get this driver fixed, or get the cards
replaced with PRO/1000 based Quad-port NICs. Let me know if you
need more information.
Thanks,
Greg
