Hello, I want to connect Drive Agx XavierA to Internet but there is nothing under network list(version:Drive Software 9.0 Linux) Following HARDWARE QUICK START GUIDE [https://developer.nvidia.com/drive/documentation](https://developer.nvidia.com/drive/documentation), I connected the Dual GbE Dongle to the Black 1&2 1 Gbps 802.3bp Ethernet Port for internet access but I still got nothing. The dongle is blinking so I suppose that the hardware should be working. Could you give me some advice? Thank you. ---

Dear dong.liang, Could you please run “sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart” or reboot the DriveAGX? And please let me know the network info using ifconfig -a command. Thanks. ---

Please also check your DHCP server to ensure this device is enabled with an IP from the server. Fabian ---

Do not connect to 1&2. it should be connected to 3&4 on my case. ---

I also have encountered the same problem. My Driver AGX Xavier cannot connect internet. I have run “sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart”,but it is useless. Even reboot device,but it’s still useless. ---

Hi FabianWeise I used network cable connect to 10GbE 1 port,but it cannot connect internet. The current version is Drive Software 9.0 Linux. it can connect internet when I flash the device to Drive Software 8.0 Linux. I don’t know why. Thanks. ---

Hi, I see your problem; you connected the AGX via the wrong interface. DRIVE 9.0 comes as Hyperion Kit configuration, so the 10GbE ports 1 and 2 on the back panel are set to static. You can verify that under `/etc/systemd/network/` as there all configuration files for the network are stored. Originally, when building the target image, the network files are taken from `/DriveSDK/drive-t186ref-linux/targetfs/<...>`. The conclusion is: Connect via the front panel via 1GbE or 100MbE; and else feel free to modify your network files under `/etc/systemd/network` to your needs as we do not restrict you from using the interface you want to connect to the internet, including the 10GbE ports on the back panel.

I got all the connections right, the ethernet is connected to the Dual GbE Dongle to the Black 1&2 and I tried everything stated in the comments above in the terminal but still no connection. ---

Connecting to port 3&4 works for me. Seems like that’s connected to Xavier B though. ---

Hi, I followed all the steps to connect with the front panel and tried 1/2 and 3/4 for 1GbE. It still doesn’t work. The network setting shows that NetworkManager needs to be running. I’m using Drive Software 9.0 on Drive AGX. ---
