Hi,
We are having issues getting more than 5% speed on our Intel Nics inside R420's and R720xd's
The network guys tell us that the switch ports are definitely configured to 10GB Full Duplex.
But we cannot get any more than 500MBs happening.
Windows is reporting the network speed at 10Gbps/Full under the nic properties.
Strangely, the nic properties do show Speed and Duplex to be Auto Negotiation, but there is no way to change that to force 10GB /Full. No other option beside Auto is available. Weird???
FCoE Boot is disabled in the bios.
If we run a test on the adapter it passes using just a ping test to the gateway.
No teaming is involved.
Latest drivers/firmware are loaded
Any ideas on further troubleshooting this one?
Cheers,
John Bradshaw
