1000BASE-ST ETHERNET will not connect after a re-boot

[Jim Synodinos]

Hi network people,

I have a new rp4440 with a 1000NASE-ST (copper)
for lan interface. good OS running good but every time i re-boot the system, the boot completes but the lan0 will not connect. The only way to get the network to talk is to unplug the copper from the card and plug it back in at which time the network responds.
until that happens i cannot ping the local gate way.
nslookup is good. netsonf is good as is all other configs i can think of.
any help on this ?

What's in your /etc/rc.config.d/netconf file?

INTERFACE_NAME[0]="lan2"
IP_ADDRESS[0]="192.72.16.20"
SUBNET_MASK[0]="255.255.0.0"
BROADCAST_ADDRESS[0]=""
INTERFACE_STATE[0]=""
DHCP_ENABLE[0]=0

attached is the netconf

your netconf is corrupt. lan0 and lan1 are defined with the same IP address?

...
INTERFACE_NAME[0]=lan0
IP_ADDRESS[0]=172.16.3.70
SUBNET_MASK[0]=255.255.255.0
BROADCAST_ADDRESS[0]=172.16.3.255
INTERFACE_STATE[0]=up
DHCP_ENABLE[0]=0
INTERFACE_MODULES[0]=""
...
...
...
INTERFACE_NAME[1]=lan1
IP_ADDRESS[1]=172.16.3.70
SUBNET_MASK[1]=255.255.255.0
BROADCAST_ADDRESS[1]=172.16.3.255
INTERFACE_STATE[1]=down
DHCP_ENABLE[1]=0

don't forget to assign points

thanks to all. The netconf file had both lan0
and lan1 assigned an the same ip. However the lan1 was not enabled. I saw this but i was counting on the fact that if an interface is not enabled it is also not configured. In any case, i commented out lan1 and that did the fix

thanks
