It appears you're using very old firmware. I think we're up to 8.2 or so and you're back on 5.0.40043. You'll need to get an NVM update package from downloadcenter.intel.com.
Also, I'm not clear what you can and can't do on Cisco hardware, so you may want to contact Cisco support as well.

Is not seen with 2.10.19.30 server is running centos7.9 with 3.10.0-1160.6.1.el7.x86_64 after loading (insmod) of OutOfTree driver and rebooting the server port0 for all x710 stays down with any driver (inbox, oob or dpdk), until power is disconnected from the server and reconnected again. Links of port0 get down by the time of initial booting phases - as seen from link partner. We see this issue with different servers from different vendors which are running different fw images. from /var/log/messages before reboot: *Mar 16 00:09:21 localhost kernel: i40e 0000:04:00.0 enp4s0f0: NIC Link is Up, 10 Gbps Full Duplex, Flow Control: None <------- * Mar 16 00:09:21 localhost kernel: i40e 0000:04:00.1 enp4s0f1: NIC Link is Up, 10 Gbps Full Duplex, Flow Control: None Mar 16 00:09:22 localhost kernel: i40e 0000:04:00.2 enp4s0f2: NIC Link is Up, 10 Gbps Full Duplex, Flow Control: None *Mar 16 00:09:22 localhost kernel: i40e 0000:07:00.0 enp7s0f0: NIC Link is Up, 10 Gbps Full Duplex, Flow Control: None <------- * Mar 16 00:09:23 localhost kernel: i40e 0000:07:00.1 enp7s0f1: NIC Link is Up, 10 Gbps Full Duplex, Flow Control: None Mar 16 00:09:23 localhost kernel: i40e 0000:07:00.3 enp7s0f3: NIC Link is Up, 10 Gbps Full Duplex, Flow Control: None *Mar 16 00:09:24 localhost kernel: i40e 0000:83:00.0 enp131s0f0: NIC Link is Up, 10 Gbps Full Duplex, Flow Control: None <-------* from /var/log/messages after reboot: Mar 16 00:09:24 localhost kernel: i40e 0000:83:00.1 enp131s0f1: NIC Link is Up, 10 Gbps Full Duplex, Flow Control: None Mar 16 00:16:06 localhost kernel: i40e 0000:04:00.1 enp4s0f1: NIC Link is Up, 10 Gbps Full Duplex, Flow Control: None Mar 16 00:16:06 localhost kernel: i40e 0000:04:00.2 enp4s0f2: NIC Link is Up, 10 Gbps Full Duplex, Flow Control: None Mar 16 00:16:07 localhost kernel: i40e 0000:07:00.1 enp7s0f1: NIC Link is Up, 10 Gbps Full Duplex, Flow Control: None Mar 16 00:16:08 localhost kernel: i40e 0000:07:00.3 enp7s0f3: NIC Link is Up, 10 Gbps Full Duplex, Flow Control: None Mar 16 00:16:09 localhost kernel: i40e 0000:83:00.1 enp131s0f1: NIC Link is Up, 10 Gbps Full Duplex, Flow Control: None # lspci -Dnn | grep Eth 0000:02:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation I350 Gigabit Network Connection [8086:1521] (rev 01) 0000:02:00.1 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation I350 Gigabit Network Connection [8086:1521] (rev 01) 0000:02:00.2 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation I350 Gigabit Network Connection [8086:1521] (rev 01) 0000:02:00.3 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation I350 Gigabit Network Connection [8086:1521] (rev 01) 0000:04:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation Ethernet Controller X710 for 10GbE SFP+ [8086:1572] (rev 01) 0000:04:00.1 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation Ethernet Controller X710 for 10GbE SFP+ [8086:1572] (rev 01) 0000:04:00.2 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation Ethernet Controller X710 for 10GbE SFP+ [8086:1572] (rev 01) 0000:04:00.3 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation Ethernet Controller X710 for 10GbE SFP+ [8086:1572] (rev 01) 0000:07:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation Ethernet Controller X710 for 10GbE SFP+ [8086:1572] (rev 01) 0000:07:00.1 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation Ethernet Controller X710 for 10GbE SFP+ [8086:1572] (rev 01) 0000:07:00.2 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation Ethernet Controller X710 for 10GbE SFP+ [8086:1572] (rev 01) 0000:07:00.3 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation Ethernet Controller X710 for 10GbE SFP+ [8086:1572] (rev 01) 0000:83:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation Ethernet Controller X710 for 10GbE SFP+ [8086:1572] (rev 01) 0000:83:00.1 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation Ethernet Controller X710 for 10GbE SFP+ [8086:1572] (rev 01) 0000:83:00.2 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation Ethernet Controller X710 for 10GbE SFP+ [8086:1572] (rev 01) 0000:83:00.3 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation Ethernet Controller X710 for 10GbE SFP+ [8086:1572] (rev 01) How can I help to get this resolved? -- Thanks, Dmitry _______________________________________________ E1000-devel mailing list E1000-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/e1000-devel To learn more about Intel Ethernet, visit https://forums.intel.com/s/topic/0TO0P00000018NbWAI/intel-ethernet
