Startup file XML for SFPs

Thread Summary

The user is troubleshooting 1000BASE-LX SFPs on the ADIN6310-tsn-evaluation-util, experiencing issues with link establishment and packet reception. The final answer suggests that the VSC7511 evaluation board on the other end of the link has auto-negotiation enabled, which may interfere with the ADIN6310. The user confirms that swapping to a Cisco switch resolves the issue, and they will try the updated 6.0.1 software release to see if it addresses the problem.

Can someone point me to the full set of parameters that need to be included in the ADIN6310 startup file to enable 1000BASE-LX SFPs?

I am using the ADIN6310-tsn-evaluation-util on windows.  I have modified the startup xml so if-type is sgmii-1000base-sxlx and phy-type is unmanaged.  And I have moved the jumpers on the board.  Port Status indicates the ports are up and I can see on the port statistics page that packets are being sent, but nothing is received.  The far end of the link does not show as being up.  

I am guessing this has something to do with LOS polarity.  Google search returns the following code snippet.  Can sfpEnabled and losPolarity be passed in the <interface> block of the startup file or does this belong somewhere else?  Or am I missing something entirely?

TIA,
-Steve

<port>
<portNumber>2</portNumber>
<interfaceMode>SGMII</interfaceMode>
<sfpEnabled>true</sfpEnabled>
<speed>1000</speed>
<losPolarity>active-low</losPolarity>
</port>

    I checked things more thoroughly today.  The VSC7511 does have auto-negotiation enabled.  The 802.3 clause 37 advertisement is 0x0020 if that helps. I found a debug option in the config file that disables auto-negotiation, but that caused other problems and didn't work either.  I am trying to move on from this particular IC, so I don't plan to investigate further.  

    The Cisco switch is a CBS350-8P-E-2G.  The web configuration GUI grays out auto-negotiation as soon as the switch detects an SFP.  The Cisco can talk to the VSC7511.

    Behavior is the same with the 6.0.1 EVKSW.  Both devices can talk to the Cisco switch, but I feel the issue is more related to the VSC7511, which perhaps is not negotiating properly.  I'm going to consider this answered.  

    Cheers,
    -Steve
