Hi everyone,

I’m planning to configure an HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen11 server with the HPE Ethernet 10Gb 2-port BASE-T BCM57416 adapter (P26253-B21). While this Broadcom adapter is one of the few officially certified options for HPE Gen11 servers, I’ve read about issues with Broadcom NICs in Proxmox environments, especially around stability and driver compatibility.

Since Broadcom seems to be the only certified supplier for BASE-T cards in Gen11 servers, I’m concerned about potential problems. Has anyone here used this specific card with Proxmox? Are there any known issues or recommended settings to ensure stable performance?

Thanks in advance for your advice!

Hi, Any progress on this topic?
I'm looking into buying the Asrock ROMED8-2T (has Intel X550-AT2) or Asrock ROMED8-2T/BCM (has Broadcom BCM57416)
Please advice based on your findings and possible solution
Thanks,

Frans
