You've got an assortment of MAC level errors going on in the 'after': +dev.ix.1.mac_stats.checksum_errs: 137 +dev.ix.1.mac_stats.rx_missed_packets: 930676 +dev.ix.1.mac_stats.rx_errs: 930676 +dev.ix.0.mac_stats.checksum_errs: 45 +dev.ix.0.mac_stats.local_faults: 563829 +dev.ix.0.mac_stats.short_discards: 6 +dev.ix.0.mac_stats.byte_errs: 6 +dev.ix.0.mac_stats.ill_errs: 6 I would be surprised if it is not a hardware issue given the MAC errors on both ports. It's been a minute since I looked at this but IIRC the thermal diode is somehow botched somewhere in the ix family so we don't get a notification in software if the PHY over temps. But it's also possible yours is already cooked or some other issue. A potentially useful hint, the X550 uses a lot less power and produces less heat. Regards, Kevin > > Cheers
