Interface card link goes down and recovers frequently

Linux and Unix-Like Red Hat
1

Hi Experts,

I have an issue where the interface card went down for like four times in last one week in redhat linux server. Every time it goes down, it comes back.

2014 Oct 21 07:22:14 <hostname> [err] kernel: [19088393.545700] nx_nic[pubeth4]: NIC Link is down
2014 Oct 21 07:22:21 <hostname> [err] kernel: [19088400.384068] nx_nic[pubeth4]: NIC Link is up
2014 Oct 21 07:22:32 <hostname> [err] kernel: [19088411.781339] nx_nic[pubeth4]: NIC Link is down

With the above messages, the NIC link goes down and comes up. I wanted to check further if the NIC is faulty.

Please advise on the same. Thank you in advance!!!

Firstly, this seems to be a RedHat issue? Posting on the correct forum will mean that the right experts are much more likely to see it.

NOTE TO MODERATOR: Please move this to RedHat.

Also, have you searched the RedHat forum for this issue? I feel sure I've seen this discussed before (on the RedHat forum).
