NIC card BCM5720 randomly stops receiving packets
Dear community guys,
DELL server R640
Redaht 7.3 ( maipo )
NIC card : BCM5720 ( 4 ports )
Issue:
Randomly NIC stop receiving packets.
No error messages in dmesg and syslog
Only errors reported by the DELL server:
A fatal error was detected on a component at bus 23 device 0 function 1. 23=0x17
which points actually to the NIC card according to lspci
17:00.1 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Limited NetXtreme BCM5720 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe
The issue is very similar to the Redhat Verified Solution:

As per DELL Support I have applied the last firmware ( 20.6.58).
As I don't have a RedHat Support I am thinking about disabling the MSI-X feature.
Let me know your thoughts.
Many thanks.
JJ.
