Is the message seen after iDRAC or NIC FW update. Can you ensure all iDRAC, BIOS and NIC FW are latest and check the behaviour?
Having the same issue right now. On our PowerEdge R740 we updated Firmware few Weeks ago, also for NIC's. Since this time we have random messages from Idrac: The Integrated NIC 1 Port 3 network link is down, after 5 seconds, The Integrated NIC 1 Port 2 network link is started. We use Dell FM487 Daughter Card Broadcom 5720 Quad-Port 1GbE. Before the updates no such Messages. Any ideas ? Thanks
the integrated nic 1 port 3 network link is down
