Hi, 

I am using XXV710-AM2 card with SFP28 modules. I am not able to establish a link. I tried to debug using ethtool and dmesg commands. I see the following output. Any help? 

1. The following is the dmesg output when I do rmmod and modprobe the i40e module.

Hi Mdasari,

Thank you for posting in our Intel® Ethernet Communities Page.

We are sorry to hear about the issue that you are experiencing with your network adapter.

We need to get more context on your issue to determine what would be our best recommendations to address your inquiry. Please answer the following questions:

1. Was this combination of the LAN adapter and SFP28 module working before?

2. Our retail ethernet version of XXV710 cards such as the XXV710-DA2 are only compatible with Intel SFP modules https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000023708/network-and-i-o/ethernet-products.html. Since your card is customized by fs, you may need to get in touch with them to see if they have the same guidelines or requirements on their cards or if they have a firmware update that could allow third party SFPs to become inoperable with the card.


We would like to hear your thoughts regarding this. We look forward to hearing from you. If we do not get your reply, we will follow up after 3 business days.



Best Regards,

Alfred S

Hi,

I am trying it for the first time. It didn't work before.

I have been talking to the FS. They gave some suggestions on switching off the auto-negotiation to make it work, but it seems not working. 

ethtool -s enp1s0f0 speed 25000 duplex full autoneg off
Cannot set new settings: Invalid argument
  not setting speed
  not setting duplex
  not setting autoneg

Hi Mdasari,

Thank you for providing that information.

Is your communication with FS still active? Please continue to communicate with them regarding this matter.

As much as we would like to help you, since this is a third party built card, it is the manufacturer who has all the tools to assist you with your concern.  

We will check back with you again after 3 business days.



Best Regards,

Hi Mdasari,

We are just following up.

It looks like you need more time to get an answer from the manufacturer and seller of your card.

Hi Mdasari, 

We need to close this thread since we have not gotten a response from you: maybe because you are busy or preoccupied at the moment. We know that this is important for you to get it resolved and it is also equally important for us to give you the right solution; as much as we would like to assist you, we need to close it to attend to other customers. We hope for your consideration and understanding on this one.
