    Continuous network dropouts when using NIC teaming from Broadcom


    Hi,

    Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet (1 port) NIC teaming has been configured on 21 HP Compaq Elite 8300 SFF workstations running Windows 10. We are experiencing continuous dropouts which is causing lots of grief and the machines are now unstable. We have one site that is stable because both NICs (teamed) are connected to one switch rather 2. Other sites both NICs (teamed) are connected to 2 separate switches for obvious reason (LBFO). Below is details of the NIC card:

    Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet
    Broadcom Corporation
    Driver date: 12/09/2013
    Driver Version: 16.8.1.0
    Driver Details: c:\windows\system32\drivers\b57nd60a.sys

    Has anyone experienced what we are going through? I have tried to get latest driver for the Broadcom NICs and unfortunately I have not been able to find anything.

    Can someone please recommend any decent Network Cards that works well with Windows 10?

    Thank you and please let me know if you require further details.

    Best regards,

    Negash,

    You may need to do a little bit of investigation into the switch configuration as well as the network adapters themselves. There are different modes of operation for NIC teaming, some of which require the switch ports to be specifically be configured to support teaming and there other modes that do not require specific switch configuration. For example, if the team is configured to use LACP then the switch will need to be specifically configured to support LACP.
