Supermicro 1u with NIC link light, with nothing plugged in?

Hi All,

interesting situation, after many years with this box in service ( X10SDV-TP8F ) I suddenly lost Internet since it's my pfSense box.

Turns out that the assigned WAN Port, was seen as "no carrier" regardless of what I did. Switched to another port and everything came back up, but has anyone seen this?

I did a BIOS update, IPMI update, etc. no change. the IPMI sees only 7 of 8 ports, same for pfsense, only 7 total ports from 8.

This machine has a dual i210, quad i350 and then a 550x 10gig all integrated. so this ironically happened on the i210 side, but the other port works fine.

IPMI is on dedicated port, didn't touch any WoL or low power settings as it seemed like a long shot.

Very odd, never had a NIC fail like this.

Any insight would be appreciated, if anyone else came across this. annoying to have the one port bad.
