Ok, let me give it a try!  I'll report back and let you know if we can get this thing a going.

If you need to I think that could be arranged... we could do a webex and let you SSH in.  Thanks!

That would be fantastic.  I did go to their website and have them in a .zip... too large for upload however.

It seems that the card is being detected. What is interesting is that lan0 and wan0 are on the same MAC range: 00:30:48:69:10:B8 and 00:30:48:69:10:B9 which is normally the case with dual port cards. Are you 100% sure wan0 is binding on the management port?

When connecting both cables to the dual port card what happens?

Are the silicom card mac addresses visible on the physical card?

Lastly, I don't see any jumpers to switch the bypass as with the Expand Accelerator, but just maybe its possible to set it in the bios?

Yes, I hadn't noticed the similar mac addresses on the one interface, but after a second look I think I see why.  It appears the system main board has the potential for two nics.  As you can see in the one pic by LAN1 and LAN2, but a second port wasn't added to the board.  How's that for confusing?

I've added some more pics for clarification, but to answer your questions:

Yes, I'm sure wan0 is bound to the management port, I can unplug both cables from the Silicom card and still access the device.

Connecting both cables (as in the pic) does nothing.  It still shows it is in bypass.  If I hook another computer up to the empty switch connected to the Remote Port of the nic, I can get an IP, network access, etc. from that computer.

Yes, both interfaces have MAC address stickers.  See attached pics...

It could be possible I suppose, unfortunately this board has no VGA port soldered to it, but one could be added so I could see.

Hardware / Silicom Dual Port Gig Ethernet Adapter PXG2BPIG-JP

« on: April 06, 2015, 07:50:16 PM »

I am trying to get WANOS up and running on a Juniper WXC 590.  So far, after some fiddling, I am able to get it to boot and initialize the 'Management' interface on the Juniper.  The primary card appears to be stuck in bypass mode.  It is represented by lan0 in the attached images.  Wan0 is the 'Management' interface on the front of the appliance.

The main NIC is a Silicom Dual Port Gig Ethernet Adapter PXG2BPIG-JP and as you can see in the pics, there appears to be a spot on the board where a 'Bypass Mode' switch could have been soldered.  Is this NIC fully supported by WANOS?  Or would I need to figure out a way to bypass it or replace it with one that is?

Thanks!
