Sorry, not enough coffee. Beyond what we are going to be able to answer via email, mainly because of all the design details, etc.

Do you have to configure anything (driver settings, EEPROM firmware) to support that? I do see a CS4227 error message from the driver, but it's not clear if that is fatal: Jun 17 21:36:26 localhost kernel: ixgbe 0000:04:00.0: eth10: CS4227 reset failed: -18 Jun 17 21:36:26 localhost kernel: ixgbe 0000:04:00.0: registered PHC device on eth10 Jun 17 21:36:26 localhost kernel: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth10: link is not ready Jun 17 21:36:26 localhost kernel: ixgbe 0000:04:00.0: eth10: detected SFP+: 5 However, I am not seeing link (NO-CARRIER).
