The lite modes are proprietary of Realtek and works with half speed using just 2 pairs of the cable. So 1G lite = 500Mb/s 5G lite = 2.5Gb/s I never see a card in 2.5G lite mode ...

Well ... Security overhead will be significant if the cpu is very old. sftp is mostly single threaded. Did you verify if the 40gb/s cards are operating in gen3 x8 ( 63Gb/s available ). All less than that will limit at 28Gb/s ( x4 ) or 15Gb/s ( xc2 ). Operating at gen2 is even worse since the...

did you try to connect to the recovery ip http://192.168.1.1 ?] It shows the firmwaree flash web interface.

There's no effect if you don't select the port(s).

The interface is very bad designed. Just click in the port number then change flow control and apply. I tested here and works.

The software ediag can show the temperature of Broadcom/Qlogic based NICs.

Great explain ... 2 questions: 1 - BCM57810 is gen2 ( I never see any gen3 57810 ) in 10Gbase-t or sfp+ QLE3442 is gen3 Will thuis crossflash activate gen3 in BCM57810 ? 2 - I already used BCM578109 and QLE3442 ( sfp+ ) with great results in 2.5Gb/s with a DFP-34X-3C3 xpon . Using a...

Try Solarflare SFN7122F. It's dual port gen3 x4. If one port is enough x2 must work. Just 5.9W of power consumption.. https://www.ebay.com/itm/125196769193 Another option is based on BCM57840 pcie gen3 x4 but using much more power ( like 10W ). Stable with good support ...

Another config to look ... If you insert a nic in a slot with enumerate lower than the nic already installed the name of thje interfaces can change. Example: I have an 10Gb AQC107 NIC that the system enumerate as en50s0f0. If I insert another card in a pcie, tthe AQC107 changes to enp51s0f0 ...

Some hints to verify ... The Connectx3 MCX354A-FCBT 40gig VPI must be in ethernet mode, not in infiniband mode. Cards in Infiniband mode doesn't show in ifconfig.You need infiniband-diags ( ibstawt , ibstatus ) qsfp ok ->...

Any change log about the recent versions }?

No. DAC = direct attach cable ( passive ) AOC =[ Active optical cable ( active ) The SFP+ to RJ45 is "Active" but using a copper interface instead of optical. The SFP+ to RJ45 is more like the AOC cable.

I used mlxconfig to reset the configs after an upgrade in an very old card. Half of the settings are missing.
