New compute controller does not receive an IP address

After receiving a new compute controller and plugging it into the enclosure, it does not receive an IP address.

This issue has the following symptoms:

  • The network switch shows that the link is down.

    Executing the following command returns no result:

    cli -c "show interface brief | match up"

  • Within the compute controller enclosure, the interface shows as UP.

    Execute the following commands and check their results:

    ip link show returns UP

    ethtool eno1 returns Link Detected: yes

  • The compute enclosure port LED is orange.

To resolve this issue, follow these steps:

  1. Log into the compute controller using the console port.
  2. Become root and execute the following command to change the interface speed:

    ethtool -s eno1 speed 10000 and ethtool -s eno2 speed 10000
