本文介绍如何对网卡的网络连接问题进行故障处理。

本文提供有关如何验证网络接口卡 （NIC） 是否与 PowerEdge 服务器兼容的信息。

在使用 Broadcom 5719QP OCP NX1 卡 （DPN M2PYY） 的 Dell PowerEdge 17G 服务器上，当 SUSE Linux Enterprise Server （SLES） 上启用安全启动时，固件安装失败。 此外，操作系统 （OS） 未检测到已安装的固件版本。禁用安全启动可正确安装和检测固件。

This article explains Dell’s 17th Generation (17G) transition from Dell‑custom Ethernet network interface cards (NICs) to industry‑standard NICs, detailing how this change aligns with industry practices while preserving Dell validation, life cycle management, and enterprise support, with standardized iDRAC‑based management.

This article provides a high‑level guide to downloading vendor‑specific firmware and drivers for common PowerEdge NICs such as NVIDIA, Broadcom, and Intel. These processes complement Dell Update Packages (DUPs) and are used when vendor‑specific firmware or drivers are required beyond Dell’s updates.

On Dell's Drivers & Downloads support site when checking for Network Interface Controller (NIC) firmware updates, two different firmware versions may appear for the same hardware. One version may be labeled as Fast Release, while the other is not. This article outlines the differences between these two release types, describes their validation processes, and explains why both versions might be available simultaneously.

Broadcom network firmware downloads for PowerEdge 17th generation servers on dell.com are labeled either '(Dell)' or '(Industry)' in their titles. This quick note helps determine which Dell Update Package (DUP) firmware to use for Broadcom adapters installed in a PowerEdge 17th generation server. Each DUP is tailored to specific Broadcom adapter models, ensuring compatibility and proper firmware installation. Using the wrong DUP does not harm a server; it does not install if the adapter is not compatible.

PowerEdge: Broadcom NXE devices with Driver 229.2.73 (SWB: Y7T4X) may report that the interfaces are missing in the operating system when secure boot is enabled.

In Windows Server 2025, when leveraging CPUs with more than 256 cores, the Broadcom BCM5720 fails to retrieve a DHCP address, leading to no network connectivity.

When using the Broadcom BCM57608 with firmware 22.92.xx.xx, the iDRAC web user interface (UI) displays alarms indicating a warning status for receive (RX) input power. It also shows a critical status for transmit (TX) bias current.

The server can power back on after shutdown if equipped with a Quad Port Broadcom 25G front-facing Open Compute Project (OCP) Network Interface Card (NIC).

Attempts to update the Broadcom NetXtreme 5719 and 5720 Network Interface Card (NIC) using the .bin file with sudo in Linux results in an 'Inventory Collection Failure' error.

PowerEdge customers using Broadcom NXE adapters in VMware ESXi may experience unexpected results when attempting to tune port parameters. Particularly in configurations with multiple NXE adapters present, understanding the port ordering from both a VMware (vmnicX) and serverPCI-e Slot-Bus-Device-Function (SBDF) may be helpful to select the appropriate commands.

Dell PowerEdge server with a Broadcom BCM57414 PCIe adapter could encounter intermittent network-disconnected problem in a VMware NSX-T environment.

On an ESXi host, if the Flow Control setting on the BCM5720 is modified without a cable inserted, the network interface card (NIC) may fail to establish a link when a cable is later inserted. The issue does not occur if the setting is modified with a cable inserted in the NIC port.

Unable to update the Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit (NX1) Network Adapter to 22.71.3 when using dual BCM5720/BCM57412 or BCM5720/BCM57416 within the iDRAC.

Network port enumeration on Windows Server 2022 with Dell network adapters may swap port designations.

安装介质通过远程文件共享 （RFS） 装载时，通过 Dell Lifecycle Controller （LCC） 安装 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 可能会导致安装失败。这适用于使用 Broadcom 板载 LAN （LOM） 时的 Dell PowerEdge C6615。

Firmware upgrades to Broadcom network devices may fail with a "libpci.so: Cannot open" error when run from a Smart Bootable ISO image created with Dell Repository Manager 3.x.

iDRAC reports false NIC100/NIC101 messages with BCM5720 OCP3 card Dell Part(VJWVJ) when NIC Firmware is upgraded to 22.31.6 and iDRAC9 Firmware is less than 7.00.00.00.

Dell C6520 and C6620 sleds lose iDRAC9 connectivity when powered off in shared mode if connected to a switchport not supporting 10/100Mb negotiation.
