When the PC went to sleep and resumed, I don't know why, the 40GBASE-SR4 connection could have not linked up again unless I physically unplug and plug a QSFP+ transceiver on the server side. The problem is certain to be no TX signals on the server when it happens. $ ifconfig -v mlxen0 mlxen0: flags=8947<UP,BROADCAST,DEBUG,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 options=ad00b9<RXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,JUMBO_MTU,VLAN_HWCSUM,VLAN_HWFILTER,VLAN_HWTSO,LINKSTATE,RXCSUM_IPV6> ether e4:1d:2d:74:16:e0 hwaddr e4:1d:2d:74:16:e0 nd6 options=29<PERFORMNUD,IFDISABLED,AUTO_LINKLOCAL> media: Ethernet 40Gbase-CR4 <full-duplex> (autoselect) status: no carrier plugged: QSFP+ 40GBASE-SR4 (MPO Parallel Optic) vendor: Mellanox PN: MC2210411-SR4 SN: MEQSRIC0115 DATE: 2015-03-23 compliance level: Unspecified nominal bitrate: 10300 Mbps module temperature: 40.00 C voltage: 3.22 Volts lane 1: RX: 0.57 mW (-2.37 dBm) TX: 0.36 mW (-4.38 dBm) lane 2: RX: 1.06 mW (0.26 dBm) TX: 0.37 mW (-4.30 dBm) lane 3: RX: 0.96 mW (-0.17 dBm) TX: 0.00 mW (-30.46 dBm) lane 4: RX: 1.12 mW (0.52 dBm) TX: 0.37 mW (-4.20 dBm) If the PC side will do so because of an electric instability by sleep and resume, that makes sense. However, I have no idea why the server side will do so. It seems to be a compatibility issue in the long run. I had replaced the transceiver which is 10Gtek's compatible module AMQ10-SR4-M1 with Avago AFBR-79EQPZ two months ago, but the problem has no longer happened at the moment. The PC side uses AMQ10-SR4-M1 no change from before and works fine. It has got to be the compatibility issue, doesn't it?
