Hi
I'm trying to set a local or remote loopback to my adapter.
this is the result
/i40e-2.4.10/src$ sudo ethtool -t enp1s0f0 external_lb
The test result is FAIL
External loopback test was not executed
The test extra info:
Register test (offline) 0
Eeprom test (offline) 0
Interrupt test (offline) 0
Link test (on/offline) 1
Is there support to that ??

Hello Yossi.varman,
The i40e driver for the XL710 does not support external loopback test. If you have an NDA with Intel, the lanconf tool has many diagnostic tests.
