7Proxmox version 7.2-3 with 10G SFP compatibility
Hi everyone, I’m setting up a networking upgrade using a 10G Tek BCM57810S card and the Broadcom 57810S chip. I’m wondering if Proxmox version 7.2-3 includes the necessary drivers for this card. I also want to connect it to a TP-Link SG3400 JetStream, so that’s important too. Thanks for your help!
previously, after testing 10GBit SFP models, I realized the driver availability wasn't tied to a specific vendor—it depended on compatibility between your switch and NIC. We also evaluated several long-range 10G SFP devices; most switches couldn't handle them, so we had to reprogram the ID using an EEPROM burner. This caused the switch to misidentify it as a shorter-range model. For NICs, I've only used Twinax connections, which worked fine.
Regarding Proxmox, it functions as a hypervisor. If the necessary drivers are available, it should operate correctly, similar to VMware and Hyper-V. After some research, it appears to be a Red Hat-based solution. Checking Red Hat documentation for supported NICs would help. Red Hat supports it starting from version 5.8. However, newer Linux kernels like 5.15.30 might require adjustments.
