If above gives result of 1Gbps then it will eliminate the NICs problem then
you know that it is a problem with cisco switch only.
after they forced the cisco ports to gigE, I was seeing 200-400Mbps in
iPerf, which was odd. servers were both very lightly loaded.
BUT... the switch ports kept going offline on us. Note I have no
admin access to the switch, its managed by IT so I have to go through
channels to get anything. I asked what error codes were causing the
ports to go offline but haven't heard back. as of right now, both
servers are offline, (I can reach their IPMI management controller, and
remotely log onto the console just fine, but the ports show no link).
When I was in the DC yesterday, I switched ports, same problem, I also
switched the network cable with a different (HP) server, it had no
problems on the same cable+port thats giving these supermicro servers
problems.
I'd chalk it up to a bad NIC, but two identical servers with two nic's
each all have this problem, so its got to be something else, some
weirdness with the 82574L as implemented on these SuperMicro X8DTE-F
servers running CentOS 6.7 ?!? In our old DC, these servers ran rock
solid for several years without any network issues at all, in that rack
I had a Netgear JGS524
