Hello Andrew, Thank you for the quick response!! Apologies in advance for my use of outlook and top-posting, etc...
I've run the raw option and the hex option, and pasted the results below. Since the raw option printed strange characters on the CLI, I re-ran it, Sending the output to a file (raw.txt) and attached that file as well. Pasted from Ubuntu CLI: tech1@D7:~$ tech1@D7:~$ tech1@D7:~$ tech1@D7:~$ tech1@D7:~$ sudo ethtool -m enp1s0 raw on UU$��pA`?�@�G# �v���@TRANSITION ��TNQSFP100GCWDM4 1AfX%F??�TN02000301 180919 h�I��_��'��Ri=`��Zntech1@D7:~$ tech1@D7:~$ tech1@D7:~$ tech1@D7:~$ tech1@D7:~$ sudo ethtool -m enp1s0 hex on Offset Values ------ ------ 0x0000: 11 00 00 0f 00 00 00 00 00 55 55 00 00 00 00 00 0x0010: 00 00 00 00 00 00 24 e2 00 00 81 68 00 00 00 00 0x0020: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 41 60 3f e0 40 e0 0x0030: 47 00 1f 10 0e 1e 0b f7 12 76 00 00 00 00 00 00 0x0040: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 0x0050: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 0x0060: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 1f 00 00 00 00 00 0x0070: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 0x0080: 11 fc 07 80 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 03 ff 00 02 00 0x0090: 00 00 00 40 54 52 41 4e 53 49 54 49 4f 4e 20 20 0x00a0: 20 20 20 20 00 00 c0 f2 54 4e 51 53 46 50 31 30 0x00b0: 30 47 43 57 44 4d 34 20 31 41 66 58 25 1c 46 3f 0x00c0: 06 00 3f d6 54 4e 30 32 30 30 30 33 30 31 20 20 0x00d0: 20 20 20 20 31 38 30 39 31 39 20 20 0c 00 68 f3 0x00e0: 00 00 02 49 80 a0 5f 1f de c9 27 16 f8 ae 52 69 0x00f0: 3d 02 60 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 83 f4 5a 6e tech1@D7:~$ tech1@D7:~$ Chris Preimesberger | Test & Validation Engineer Transition Networks, Inc. chr...@transition.com direct: +1.952.996.1509 | fax: +1.952.941.2322 | www.transition.com -----Original Message----- From: Andrew Lunn [mailto:and...@lunn.ch] Sent: Wednesday, September 26, 2018 2:45 PM To: Chris Preimesberger Cc: linvi...@tuxdriver.com; netdev@vger.kernel.org Subject: Re: bug: 'ethtool -m' reports spurious alarm & warning threshold values for QSFP28 transceivers On Wed, Sep 26, 2018 at 07:29:23PM +0000, Chris Preimesberger wrote: > Hello, > > I'm re-sending in plain text per the auto-reply from a spam filter.

That will make it easier for us to reproduce this issue, assuming it is ethtool, and not the kernel driver. Thanks Andrew
