Hello, DATA We are running FreeBSD 13.2-RELEASE-p9 #25 on top of several Dell R650 (Example Service Tag: 8FKQRY3). The system is running bhyve for other FreeBSD Virtual Machines.
All these servers have X710-DA4 Fiber Network cards (4 port of SFP+). dev.ixl.0.%desc: Intel(R) Ethernet Controller X710 for 10GbE SFP+ - 2.3.3-k dev.ixl.0.fw_version: fw 9.840.76614 api 1.15 nvm 9.40 etid 8000e9b5 oem 225632.7 Some servers have an additional X710-DA2 (same card but with 2 ports) for extra fiber ports. ISSUE Periodically, the networking will stop working on individual interfaces. During packet capture we can see that the networking card is receiving traffic, but no traffic is being set out. During further investigation we found that ixl interface TX queue is getting into STALLED mode.
