Hi all,
I recently added a node to a Proxmox cluster and was setting up a dedicated server <-> server ethernet connection with some spare NICs but I am getting significant throughput issues on the new card.
I am suspicious of the NIC I installed in the T320 and NOT of the NIC in the node because the node's NIC is integrated to the motherboard.
I installed a Broadcom Limited NetXtreme BCM5722 Gigabit Ethernet in a PCIe slot and ran iperf3 tests against that connection. I'm getting ~ 1/10th of what I should be getting.
Do I need to install drivers for this new card? How?
There are 2 x Broadcom Limited NetXtreme BCM5720 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe already in the server and working perfectly fine. Here's an iperf3 test of the other NICs:
What am I doing wrong here?
