Polarity issues often arise with MPO/MTP connectors. Consulting the cable documentation to verify the key orientation is critical. A fiber optic polarity tester can definitively confirm the TX/RX mapping. Swapping fibers manually isn't recommended due to potential damage. OTDR checks cable integrity, but not polarity. Replacing transceivers is a troubleshooting step, but addressing polarity first is more efficient.

The file '/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nouveau.conf is the standard location to blacklist the 'nouveau' driver. This prevents it from loading and conflicting with the NVIDIA driver. "/etc/modules' is a list of modules to load at boot, but not for blacklisting. '/boot/grub/grub.cfg' is the GRUB configuration file, not for module blacklisting. S/etc/systemd/system.conf is the systemd configuration file, not module related. 'letc/default/grub' is where you configure Grub settings and update GRUB, but it is not the right location for blacklisting modules.

Rolling back drivers is a quick way to revert to a known working state. Checking system logs will provide valuable information about driver errors or network issues. Network diagnostic tools will quantify the network performance and help isolate the problem. Reinstalling the OS is drastic and should be a last resort. Updating the BIOS is unlikely to resolve driver-related network issues unless specifically recommended for the network card.

Link flapping is most commonly caused by physical layer issues (faulty cables, connectors, or transceivers) or configuration mismatches (link speeds or duplex settings). Troubleshooting should focus on inspecting the physical connections and verifying that the link speed and duplex settings are correctly configured on both ends of the link. While MTIJ issues and software bugs can cause network problems, they are less likely to directly cause link flapping. Excessive broadcast traffic can cause performance issues but is less likely to result in frequent link up/down transitions.

Options B and C directly address the 00M issue. CUDA memory pooling enables efficient reuse of GPU memory, minimizing allocations and deallocations. Reducing batch size and concurrency decreases the memory footprint of the model, alleviating the pressure on GPU memory. While upgrading GPUs (D) is a solution, it is more costly than optimizing the current configuration. Increasing system RAM (A) does not solve GPU memory issues. Disabling other models (E) reduces load but doesn't address the core problem of the memory leak in the first place.
