The Intel 710 only works with Intel brand optics. It is possible you can find optics which will report as Intel, though I've never tried.
I do use FlexOptix programmable optics in various network devices. When I get to the office I'll plug in the programmer and see if it can code Intel optic info. 73 diana On April 14, 2023 11:39:06 AM MDT, Theo de Raadt <dera...@openbsd.org> wrote: >Welcome to the world of vendor optic locking. > >Laura Smith <n5d9xq3ti233xiyif...@protonmail.ch> wrote: > >> I have an ixl card (ixl0 at pci1 dev 0 function 0 "Intel X710 SFP+" rev >> 0x02: port 3, FW 6.0.48442 API 1.7, msix, 4 queues) on OpenBSD that doesn't >> seem to be seeing any of my SFP+ modules. >> >> >> The modules are all MSA coded and from different manufacturers. >> >> >> ifconfig ixl shows "status: no carrier" (but light is confirmed as existing >> both ways and all patching has been triple checked). >> >> Additionally "ifconfig ixl transciever" reports "ifconfig: transciever: bad >> value" whilst I believe this should be showing transceiver stats ? >> >> >> Am I missing something here ? >> >
