BCM5720 issue (DELL PE320)
-
DELL PE320 with build-in BCM5720 and an extra add on BCM5720 traffic between the add on and the build-in NICs seem to vanish. (latest firmware updates 02-2015)
Setup was pretty basic. (bare-metal)
LAN internal p1
OPT1 internal p2
WAN add on p2Traffic from LAN to WAN works.
Traffic from OPT1 to WAN does not. (setup as LAN)Did the same test with Smoothwall and the result was similar.
Finally bought two Intel PRO/1000 PT Dual Port Servers Adapters disabled the Broadcoms and now everything works as expected.
Just an FYI for people who are pulling their hairs just to get it to work.
