Disclaimer,
I am a newbie and I am attempting to use Debian within ESXi with SR-IOV enabled.
So I've install Debian without desktop environment as a VM. I have enabled the onboard Intel x557-AT interfaces via pass-through to the Debian VM. I followed the following how-to http://ask.xmodulo.com/download-install ... ebian.html However it's connected but I still have no link. When I do ip link set ens256 up I get the following
[56.107860] ixgbevf: Unable to start - perhaps the PF Driver isn't up yet RTNETLINK answers: Network is down
Debian 9.2.1

Re: ixgbevf help
This is not a very common case. You should really reveal more information.
Confirmation your hardware and hypervisor support SR-IOV?
Does lspci -nnk show driver loaded?
Anything in dmesg about NIC initialization?

As I mentioned I am a newbie. Assume I know nothing.

I believe I resolved the issue however.
I now only get RTNETLINK answers: Network is down
My setup is my Supermicro systemboard with Intel x557 SFP attached to my desktop a Chelso 10GB SFP+ adatper using a HP JD097B X240 10G SFP+ 3M DA cable. I have set static IPs on both (10.10.11.2 & 10.10.11.3)
