I've also tried setting the link speed manually, but it does auto-negotiate to 1000 already.

Anyone have any ideas what else I can try or check?

I've spent hours trying to figure this out, and all of the google searching and testing have gotten me nowhere. According to it looks like the latest firmware is 3.137 which I have installed: esxcli network nic get -n vmnic0Īdvertised Link Modes: 10baseT/Half, 10baseT/Full, 100baseT/Half, 100baseT/Full, 1000baseT/Half, 1000baseT/Fullįirmware Version: FFV7.10.64 bc 5720-v1.36Īll of the diagnostics/status report that it is connected at 1000 full and I've tried multiple NIC's, cables and switches all with the same result. I've updated firmware/drivers as much as I can. Just for proof that it isn't the network, other servers get expected performance: local 192.168.1.117 port 50998 connected to 192.168.1.242 port 5201 Vmnic3 0000:03:00.1 tg3 Up Down 0 Half 14:18:77:5e:a6:e1 1500 Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5720 Gigabit Ethernetįor the life of me, I can not get them to send traffic at a higher rate than ~12MBytes/second: -Īccepted connection from 192.168.1.117, port 50971 It has 8 NIC's, 3 of which are tg3, Broadcom NetXtreme BCM5720's: vmnic0 0000:02:00.0 tg3 Up Up 1000 Full 14:18:77:5e:a6:de 1500 Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5720 Gigabit Ethernet I have an older Dell R530: Manufacturer Dell Inc.ĬPU 16 CPUs x Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2630 v3 2.40GHz
