xl710 interoperability problem

Maksim

Hello, friends!

I have a test stand with TRex 2,82 server with 2x40g NIC (XL710, fw 8.0, driver 2.12.6).
Sometimes the link state goes down while I'm testing my DUT.

In TRex forum I get an answer from developers, that it's interoperability issue (not software).
The link to the forum theme below:
https://groups.google.com/g/trex-tgn/c/SFyAMVuP8GM
There is a video with testing process where you can see how link state acts during the test...

Thank you in advance!
