Hi Glcomm,

Thank you for posting at Wired communities. Please provide further information below and clarify the setup. 1) Are you trying to connect one port of XL710QDA2 to the port on another XL710QDA2? Like a back to back connection without connecting to a switch?2) What is the QSPF you used? It is recommended to use the validated module and cable, please refer to the website below for XL 710 series cabling http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/network-and-i-o/ethernet-products/000007045.htmlThanks,wb

Hi Glcomm,

It is recommended to use the validated module and cable on our website: http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/network-and-i-o/ethernet-products/000007045.html There is no special setup or configuration if you want to connect the cable on port 1 to port 2 on the same network adapter here. You can check if this setup pass the hardware test by going to the network adapter's property. e.g. Go to device manager-> property of the network adapter-> Link Speed-> You can see the Diagnostic Test and click on hardware Test to check.Thanks,wb
