I have no experience with bxe but it seems it doesn't recognize the SFP+.

But given it says:
 	bxe0: Found 10Gb Fiber media.
 	bxe0: IFMEDIA flags : 20

That should be:
 	  13853         sc->media = IFM_1000_SX;
 	and IFM_ETHER

The latter ocnfuses me.


What does
 	ifconfig -v -m bxe0
show on box3?


What happens if you re-plug the SFP+ once the box is up and running?

Also, is there a cable attached and the link supposed to be up?


Just random ideas; my 5 Pfennig.
