I've got a really strange problem running Xenserver 7.0 (tried 7.1 as well) on a Dell M620 with BCM57810 network card.
The whole setup is fine and running flawlessly with no traffic. I've got a Windows Server 2016 running and can access it with RDC through a Vyos firewall etc. On another virtual machine I want to run an owncloud instance and add another IP to the network interface and forward the traffic to it. As soon as I access the owncloud http interface, the whole server is crashing with a kernel panic and error messages relating to the Broadcom network driver.

The network diagram is as follows:
Unfortunately I cannot install the vendor driver since I don't have the kernel headers to compile the driver manually.
I tried to disable virtual interfaces in the NIC configuration but without any success. Also disable_tpa or other module parameter didn't give me any success.
Hope anyone has any ideas.
