OK, can anyone advice what would be better to get TOPTON i7-1165G7 i211AT 6LAN or QOTOM Q575G6 i7-7500U i211AT 6LAN. I'm on PPPoE FTTP (UK). With current electricity prices I'm trying to find most efficent solution(without breaking the bank [ie. SG-6100 max]).

I actually have two here from different vendors I tried.
One's coded for Cisco and the other's coded for Intel.

This directive was added to the boot loader config file:
hw.ix.unsupported_sfp="1"

After rebooting, when I slide either SFP module into the SFP+ cage, I get an unsupported module error from the kernel.

ix0: Unsupported SFP+ module type was detected.

I remember seeing on the Supermicro documentation that these SFP+ ports are not multimode and only support SFP+ modules.
