What does "ifconfig rl0" show, both normally and when this happens?

How about "netstat -nI rl0"?

Is anything logged on the switch? This model has things like broadcast
storm control, I'm wondering if that might have triggered or if it shows
anything else useful.

Can you try a different cable, can you try a different switch port?

I don't see any extra debugging that can be enabled for rl.
