Hi Malte, Was this issue resolved for you?
There are several other possibilities that it could be - and if it's still a problem with current mainline, please let us know. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1811963 Title: Sporadic problems with X710 (i40e) and bonding where one interface is shown as "state DOWN" and without LOWER_UP Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: After rebooting the physical server there is a 50/50 chance of all connected interfaces coming up. This affects Dell EMC R740's and R440's equipped with the X710 network cards. As far as I noticed (~20 reboots on different machines), this happens only when using bonding (in this case active-backup or mode 1, did not test different modes yet). The networking-hardware on the other side shows the ports "connected". tcpdump shows frames being received, even if the interface is in "state DOWN". Tried with: Ubuntu 16.04, kernel 4.4.0-141, driver 2.7.26 (from the Intel-website), firmware 18.8.9 Ubuntu 16.04, kernel 4.4.0-141, driver 1.4.25-k, firmware 18.8.9 Ubuntu 16.04, kernel 4.15.0-43 (hwe), driver 2.1.14-k, firmware 18.8.9 The following excerpts are made using Intels driver in version 2.7.26, therefore tainting the kernel, but the same happens using the original kernel's version or the hardware enablement kernel's version.
