Hi Eric and John,

I could not get the command working:

#ethtool -l p3p1
Channel parameters for p3p1:
Pre-set maximums:
RX:             0
TX:             0
Other:          1
Combined:       63
Current hardware settings:
RX:             0
TX:             0
Other:          1
Combined:       6

#ethtool -L p3p1 rx 1 tx 1
Cannot set device channel parameters: Invalid argument

#ethtool -L p3p1 rx 1 tx 1 other 1
other unmodified, ignoring
Cannot set device channel parameters: Invalid argument

Best,
Ming
