Installed intel 520 10g sfp+ card but no internet
-
The sfp+ card is seen perfectly as ix0
I can create a vlan 35 for it to connect to Bell Ontario fibre.
But it never connects.
I have no issues when using an sfp/media converter to Ethernet.
I am so overly tired i am missing something it seems.
Any ideas?

Are you positive the modules you're using in the X520 are coded for Intel part numbers? Most X520 cards will not pass traffic unless your optics are Intel coded. You might get link lights, but the driver won't bring the port online.
