xl710 interoperability problem

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!

Hi Maksim,

Thank you for waiting for our update.

After checking, we found out that the ethernet adapter that you are using is OEM distributed. The firmware on is also third party, because the highest we have is 7.3. Please get in touch with your system manufacturer, because other factors maybe causing the issue.

We look forward to your reply. Should we not get your reply, we will follow up after three business days.

Hi, @AlfredoS_Intel 

I don't understand some moments of your reply...

Yes it is OEM - the Manufacturer is "Intel Corporation". so I am contacting you, cause you are from intel community. Is that right or whom should I contact?

I thought the highest firmware you have is 8.0 - I got mine from intel download center . Why you called it third party?

Best regards.

Hi Max,

Thank you for patiently waiting for an update.

To confirm, we do have firmware version 8.0 in our system. After checking the markings that you have provided, the card that you are using is OEM distributed, meaning it is not one of the boxed version that we provided. Since it is OEM distributed, they may have applied their own firmware or customizations on the adapter. You may be seeing Intel manufactured on the chips, however the whole product is OEM distributed. Please check with your system manufacturer, if they have their own firmware release or driver release.

We will be waiting for your update. Should we not hear from you, we will provide you with an update no later than October 21, 2020.
