Any thoughts on what might be going on? Any ideas how to troubleshoot this?
I have no experience with bxe but it seems it doesn't recognize the SFP+.
But given it says:
bxe0: Found 10Gb Fiber media.
bxe0: IFMEDIA flags : 20
That should be:
13853 sc->media = IFM_1000_SX;
and IFM_ETHER
The latter ocnfuses me.
What does
ifconfig -v -m bxe0
show on box3?
What happens if you re-plug the SFP+ once the box is up and running?
Also, is there a cable attached and the link supposed to be up?
Just random ideas; my 5 Pfennig.
