Hello,
Using a X710 based NIC with Intel SFP - FTLX8574D3BCV-IT on a bare-metal
setup, I came across the following issue on the i40e PMD:
When Intel SFP - FTLX8574D3BCV-IT is used, link does not come up on
executing link down and up commands in quick succession. It shows
"NO-CARRIER" in ip link show.
#ip link set dev eth0 down; ip link set dev eth0 up
#
# ip link show dev eth0
304: eth0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast
state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
link/ether xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
On the 1st command, ip link set dev eth0 down, i40e_aq_get_phy_capabilities
returns success but for next command (ip link set dev eth0 up) it returns
I40E_ERR_UNKNOWN_PHY (-7).
If link down and up commands are executed with a sleep of 1 second
in-between them, then issue is not observed.
Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2637 v3 @ 3.50GHz

10GbE SFP+ (rev 02)

Thanks and Regards,
