Installed latest driver for ixgbe and enabled allow_unsupported_sfp option however, the dmesg still indicates unsupported SFP even though the options shows as enabled

[ 405.677612] ixgbe 0000:04:00.0: failed to load because an unsupported SFP+ or QSFP module type was detected.

The SFP+ modules being used are Mikrotik DAC (S+DA0001) Modules are passive DAC and appear to meet the standards indicated on the compatibility list.

Hello ABree,

 

Thank you for posting in Intel Ethernet Communities. 

 

Can you share the exact model of your Ethernet Adapter? Please also provide tha PBA and Serial number which can be seen on the white sticker of the adapter. This would help us to identify if this is an Intel Retail or OEM version of Ethernet adapter:

You may refer to this link on where to find the PBA.

Hello ABree,

 

Thank you for the reply.

 

Since you confirmed that this is an OEM network card, it is recommended to get in touch with Supermicro for further support since they have customized drivers and software to enable or alter features on your system. They are in best position where you can seek assistance so you don’t lose features or customizations of the Network card. Please visit this link for the List of Supported Retail Intel® Ethernet Adapters wherein mentioned, 'If your adapter isn't listed below, it's an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) or LAN on motherboard (LOM) adapter. We don't support OEM nor LOMs.'
