Description

Hello VyOS team,

This is a different behavior, because the O.S. is getting the interface status as u/u but is not receving any ARP addresses and is not reachable by ping or any other protocol, looks like a driver issue at the latest VyOS version my point of view, because it stops working at the latest version:

Can you check the MAC address of the card not that the interface got mixed up in their naming?

Hi c-po,

Including evidences that the MAC Addresses are not been transported between p2p link:

I will change the patch cord cable with a crossover and see if it works.

Problem solved and it was my mistake.

I changed the interface as requested by c-po and it works, you may proceed and close this request.

Sorry about the inconvenience.

Good work to y'all.
