      Looks like it has been working all along just xCenter not showing it correctly.

      Where does xCenter pull these stats from?

        @geant90 you will need to do a xe pif-scan if the NIC was not present during installation.

        Also, please share exact vendor id of your NIC. You can obtain it from lspci -v or dmesg

          I did. I even deleted and reintroduce with mac but no luck. Where does the dash get that information the pif is showing connected in command with the uuid but not in gui.

            @r1 Do you mean the already known 2357:0601?

              @geant90 Just wanted to know that you are seeing the same ID 2357:0601.

              If #ifconfig shows it correctly and the networking is working fine, you can scan it via XCP-NG-Center or # xe pif-introduce to let XAPI know about it.

              Does your #xsconsole show it under "Display NICs"?

                @r1 I did do a scan. It detects it and adds to xcenter but list as disconnected. The console shows it but unknown and not connected. It does operate just fine as is but I would love for it to be as compatible as possible and we are so close.

                Various Info

                Check out that link.

                So Xen scans and detects the usbnic fine. Adds under device but no data is populated. pif-list command shows device is currently attatched. In xCenter I configure an addition network with ip as seen @ .92 and it works fine. When I do a pif-param-list I beleive xCenter gets the info from there. Most of it is missing. ifconfig shows all the right info. If I can somehow find out where does pif get this info I could modify it to call info from ifconfig and whatever else necesarry. After I get this figure out I will also have it always get same interface name.

                So far to get this easily working on others it would just need a script that:

                1. copies rules and .ko appropriate places and updates
                2. PLAN: Persistent inf name for xen
                  3)PLAN: Get pif for device to get the needed info from ifconfig as it has all necesarry data. so it appears as any other NIC. So far it is working as it should

                  @geant90 I would ping @borzel to see if he knows about this behavior. Your #ifconfig shows correct info, can assign ip and works fine but XCP-NG-Center says its disconnected.
                  You say #xe pif-* works fine.

                  XCP-NG-Center gets data from XAPI, the same API used by xe, so it would be a very rare case that the info produced is mismatching.

                  Can you share screenshot of Host NICs from

                  1. XCP-NG-Center
                  2. #xsconsole -> Display NICS
                  3. #xe pif-param-list

                  BTW, did you try XOA product, its a web based alternative to XCP-NG-Center with added automated functions?

                    Heres the picture of NIC
                    xscone Display + xcenter

                    I know about XOA, use it at work. For this test machine I built a fresh XenServer 7.6 As I hope to get it working as natural as possible. That way if it works in XS it'll work in XCP-NG and XOA. As again goal is so it works for everywhere after a script shell install.
                    Do you happen to have a usb nic woring in xen? Screen shots for comparison?

                      @geant90 so its XAPI itself that does not recognize the interface being online.

                      Whats the #ethtool -i ethX and ethtool ethX output look like?

                      Usually on pif-scan the interface (if online) should get registered. And does #dmesg shows that interface is now online when you plug a LAN into it?

                        Hmm just noticed for my other interface that works fine where it says Ports for the result of #ethtool under the USB#Gig NIC it says MII and the other working NIC says Twisted pair!?!? I know what a MII but could it be that? Anyone has working media interface to rule that out?

                          Ah! You will have to do a #interface-rename operation to rename your side-373-eth0 to eth1, then XAPI will recognize it. Can you try it, I don't have exact command around but you can check with its help or code.

                            Man that is exactly what I was thinking about 4-5 hours ago driving to work. I was thinking maybe it has something to do with Xserver only recognizing calling NIC names "ethx" The only reason I had not tried it was because I wanted to ensure functionality before renaming to something persistent. Will keep you posted. Because it does pull the same stats matching from my function NIC. Will attempt after lunch!

                              Ladies and gentlemen we have struck gold.

                              So it looks like it has a problem being a usb device. Time to find out what can be done to over come this.

                                Yayy! It's more clear. The rename script is probably only looking for PCI device, not USB one. Now, we'll have to find where this code is written and improve it πŸ™‚

                                      In interface-rename python I see it imports xcp.pci and others. Maybe if it is edited to import usb as well then using an if command we can get it to also recognize a pci address for examaple 'usb-0000:00:14.0-2 (if usb-xxxx:xx:xx:x-x then refer to usb location. Will play around now. For now I wonder if a simple edit to the script would get it working. usb-0000:00:14.0-2 does in fact refer to to the proper pci address of the usb controller @ 00:14.0 I wonder if for reporting purposes using a if command to strip away usb-0000:00:14.0-2 to 0000:00:14.0-2 or possibly 0000:00:14.0 would be enough for it to comply with xapi then with a proper eth name it will report correctly refresh xcenter appropriately. Since it can be matched with permanent MAC it in theory would be able to function as that just displays NIC. Then if that is successful I can see if it would cause conflict with two reporting same PCI location. Which from looking at the script it should not as that is just reporting to the end user usable info which we really don't care as we are aware it is a usb device then could simply find out which to be specific. This does not effect the driver which is already communicating properly and the device is functioning fine it just cannot determine that bus location.

                                        Going to see if I can get it to call the vendor and device from the usb manu and product ids so it is all pretty and what not.

                                          So you did modified the script? Can you share it somewhere? (so we could test it and include it for future update)

                                            Did not get to the script yet but I will. I just wanted to be 100 percent sure that the only reason its named side is because that script cannot handle it due to the unknown bus location. If we can get the script to recognize the location then that would likely be the end for all usb nic troubles as it will then be able to properly assign the ethx name for xapi to correctly pick up without any addition user interaction.Thus again putting XCP-NG ahead of the game. As we would not have to put a halt to dynamic naming for interfaces and the nic will be retained through a reboot.
