Full Version: fxp0 failed; interface ignored

In my daily security run output I am getting some intermittant failures for my ethernet and not sure if it's a sign of trouble or not. Here's the failures I've had recently extracted from the kernal log message:

fxp0 failed; interface ignored
]: creating IPv4 interface fxp0 failed; interface ignored
fxp0: <Intel 82562EZ (ICH5) Pro/100 VE Ethernet> port 0xa000-0xa03f mem
(rebooted message above)
ce fxp0 failed; interface ignored
fxp0 failed; interface ignored
14:53:08 serv-1 named[473]: creating IPv4 interface fxp0 failed; interface ignored

These are from 5/26 (first) to 6/3 (last)

Any suggestions?? The server itself seems to be running ok.

I'm assuming that your active IPv4 connection is on something other than fxp0, such as fxp1? Is this a total control server where it's having trouble talking to the TC admin device on fxp0?
ckh
No, it's not a total control server. It's an SM Super Server 2.8 I got around Feb 2004.

There's no fxp1.

I'm assuming that fxp0 is the ethernet card for accessing the internet.

dmsg shows:

fxp0: <Intel 82562EZ (ICH5) Pro/100 VE Ethernet> port 0xa000-0xa03f mem

Oh! Sorry, actually these look like named errors. If you look in /var/log/messages, does it list named as the culprit?
ckh
Yep, got a bunch of them:

any suggestions??

Is the ip/port already in use?

CODE
/usr/local/sbin/lsof -nPi4:53


do you have any custom sysctl settings?

CODE
sysctl -a net.inet.ip

Could instead have used:

sockstat -p 53
