Re: Convert X710 to an XXV710?

JGuy · ‎03-07-2018

I noticed the XXV710 is part of the Fontville series, which includes the X710 and XL710. Additionally the NVM package is the same for all 3 of these NICs.

Is it possible to flash the 4-port 10GE X710, or the 1-port 40GE XL710 to function as a XXV710? Even if it can only support 2x25G connections, it would be fine.

Hi Ninwardspiral,

Thank you for posting in Wired Communities. This is not supported even by updating the firmware.
