We have a Dell server w/ an intel x540 card. we're using the SR-IOV functionality on the 2 ports on the x540. However, to get the links up on the Virtual Functions, we need the link up on the physical function, and hence had to plug in a cable between the 2 ports. Is there a way to force the link up on one or both of the ports so that we don't need a cable plugged in?
