HP ML350P g8 only have 100 Mb connection on Broadcom BCM5719 Gigabit Ethernet Esxi 5.5

Hi there ,

I have HP ML350P g8 that was recently installed with Esxi 5.5, but I only have 100 Mb connection on Broadcom BCM5719 Gigabit Ethernet that are connected with HP Gigabit Switch.

Tried to reboot the server but no luck. any idea. It seems the driver has been installed with HP customized Esxi ISO. See photos

Any idea? thanks.

Just to rule that out, did you already check the physical switch port's configuration as well as the network cable?

the switch is brand-new as well. no configuration. just powered on and play.

the server gets 4 ports. So far, I connected 2 of them. both are 100Mb.

I might replace the cable for quick debug. but I doubt that's the cause.

I checked another physical machine running Win 2003 that is connected with same switch. It gets 1G connection.

Can you confirm that the physical port is configured to "autoconfigure" the NIC settings?
