Re: problem with ixl(4) and vlans

Hi List,


because i've been asked, yes, the ixl3.15 interface is also UP (even my 
output in the last mail showed different, result of my desperate tries 
to make it work.

One thing I didn't mention, this is an onboard ixl on a Intel S2600STB 
Board, is has this wired config, were the first two interfaces are 10g 
base-t and the other two are sfp+ ports. While looking around further I 
noticed that only one of the sfp+ ports shows information on the sfp+ 
module correctly (both modules are genuine intel and have been cycled):


# ifconfig -v ixl2
ixl2: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 9184
options=4e507bb<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,JUMBO_MTU,VLAN_HWCSUM,TSO4,TSO6,LRO,VLAN_HWFILTER,VLAN_HWTSO,RXCSUM_IPV6,TXCSUM_IPV6,NOM
AP>
         ether a4:bf:01:76:ef:9c
         inet [...]
         media: Ethernet autoselect (10Gbase-SR <full-duplex>)
         status: active
         nd6 options=23<PERFORMNUD,ACCEPT_RTADV,AUTO_LINKLOCAL>
         plugged: GBIC 100G AOC (Active Optical Cable (SC)
         vendor:  PN:  SN:  DATE: 20--


does not show the correct information (100G AOC, i'd wish ;) even thou 
it has the same kind of sfp+ as ixl3 here:


# ifconfig -v ixl3
ixl3: flags=8963<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 
0 mtu 1500
options=4a500b9<RXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,JUMBO_MTU,VLAN_HWCSUM,VLAN_HWFILTER,VLAN_HWTSO,RXCSUM_IPV6,NOMAP>
         ether a4:bf:01:76:ef:9d
         media: Ethernet autoselect (10Gbase-SR <full-duplex>)
         status: active
         nd6 options=29<PERFORMNUD,IFDISABLED,AUTO_LINKLOCAL>
         plugged: SFP/SFP+/SFP28 10G Base-SR (LC)
         vendor: Intel Corp PN: FTLX8571D3BCV-IT SN: MHT27ZB DATE: 
2018-11-09
         module temperature: 43.24 C voltage: 3.32 Volts
         lane 1: RX power: 0.57 mW (-2.41 dBm) TX bias: 8.20 mA

this made me thinking; is this 'wired' base-t and sfp+ configuration 
properly supported by the driver?

Any ideas from the list?


thanks & best


Daniel
