    Thanks for the reply.

    I am using N3000-2.

    The server is 'Dell PowerEdge R720 server, 2x Intel Xeon E5-2680 @ 2.8GHz'.

    Here is the output and I think I already use the latest version for driver.

    I guess the eth2, eth3, eth6, eth9 are the XL710 interfaces. But I don't know why they don't show as something like enp136s0f0.

    When I follow the instructions to update XL710 drivers, it shows 'Update not available' and 'Devices not found'. I paste the output at the beginning of the question.

      Hi Max,

      Thanks for the information. Most of your drivers seem to be in the latest version.

      From Hardware sides

      • Based on the information available in the readme notes for the Intel® Ethernet X722 drivers,
      • the devices are based on the Intel Ethernet X710, XL710, X722,
      • and XXV710 controllers may fail to load with a yellow bang error.
      • This may be because the device is connected to a switch that is not advertising traffic class 0.
      • Maybe you can try to disconnect the device from the switch or configure the switch to advertise TC0,
        and restart your system.

      If the hardware confirm no issue, you may try step below

      Please let me know if you need any further clarification,
      looking forward to hear back from you
      Regards,

      WeiChuan_C_Intel
