Intel allow_unsupported_sfp

Posted at June 11, 2018 in by

If you would like to use 3rd party optical module in Intel X500 or X700 series PCI cards, then you would need to issue Intel allow_unsupported_sfp=1 configuration parameter. Without this command, there is high chance that 3rd party optical modules will not be recognized and links will not be established.

 

In FreeBSD, in /boot/loader.conf.local put:

hw.ixgbe.unsupported_sfp=1

 

In Linux, in /etc/modprobe.d/ixgbe.conf put:

options ixgbe allow_unsupported_sfp=1

 

Windows has similar option in the driver properties screen.
