R200 with BCM95721 network wont link up at 1000Mbps
Hi,
We have a PowerEdge R200 server with the Broadcom BCM95721 network controller. It's stuck at 100Mbps link to a 1Gig switch. We have other, older, PE servers connected to the same switch and they link up at 1Gig just fine.
I looked at firmware updates but the section is a mess and confusing as to what firmware is compatible and what version I can jump to/from.
Some info...

Hello
According to that information the network controller is working fine. It is advertising itself as capable of 1000baseT/Full duplex. It is negotiating with the other network device to 100baseT/Full duplex. I suspect the issue is with either a cable or the other device. I would suggest that you troubleshoot those two items.
Thanks
