I am following the N310 Getting Started Guide, which states to set MTUBytes to 
8000 for 1 GB on SFP0.  If that is incorrect, perhaps the guide should be 
updated?

Subject: Re: [USRP-users] N310 MPMD link speed warnings

1 Gbe Ethernet can't handle that much data. Most 1 Gbe class NIC controllers 
prevent you from setting the MTU over 1500 anyway. I would be surprised if the 
GUI settings in network manager actually went through. If you type 'ifconfig' 
in a command console the host NIC is probably still running at 1500 MTU.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet_frame#Ethernet_II

The N310 supports two modes.

1. 1.25 Gbe mode

2. 10 Gbe mode

I think the warning is saying that it does not know what to do (link 
negotiation with your host NIC failed) so it defaults to the slower of the two 
modes.

I am using Ubuntu 18.04, an N310 with the current master builds.  I am 
currently testing basic operation using a USB/Ethernet adaptor for the 
management connection, and a 1 GB Ethernet connection straight from the 
computer’s NIC port to the SFP0 port on the N310.

I have built from source and can make it through all of the examples and 
benchmarking exercises successfully.  I am also able to successfully run the 
tx_waveform example with a streaming rate of 25e6 with a master clock rate of 
125e6.  This seems to be the limit, 31.25e6 causes underruns.

Despite the streaming link seeming to work, there are chronic warnings such as:
“[WARNING] [MPMD] Could not determine link speed; using 1GibE max speed of 
125000000

The network connections were set up within Ubuntu’s network manager, with 
MTUBytes = 8000 (also set in the N310’s /etc/system/network/ files).
Autonegotiation is enabled on both ends, per ethtool outputs.

Any input on where these warnings originate, and if there is a way to suppress 
them?

Thank you
Dan
