Hi,

i have a Dell Poweredge R530 Server with Suse Enterprise Server 12 SP1 with an Intel X520 2 Ports 10Gbit/s DA/SFP+ Server Adapter, Low Profile Controller, the Driver Version is intel-ixgbe 4.3.13.

The Interface is allways down, if i try to bring the interface up with “ifup p3p1” i got allways

“p3p1 setup-in-progress”

systemctl status networt:

wicked.service - wicked managed network interfaces
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/wicked.service; enabled)

Hi it_team_ka,

just recently I met a similar case, where the interface setup didn’t complete because there were redundant routing entries in /etc/sysconfig/network/routes and the interface-specific routes file (/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-p3p1-routes. So this could easily be some configuration issue.

Anything popping in the journal during ifup processing?

Regards,
J
