802.1Q VLANs
IEEE 802.1Q virtual local area network (VLAN) protocol allows each physical port of this adapter to be separated into multipl
e virtual
NICs for added network segmentation and enhanced security and performance. VLANs increase security by isolating traffic between
users. Limiting the broadcast traffic to within the same VLAN domain also improves performance.
Active Health System
Supports HPE Active Health System
- monitors and records changes in the server
hardware and configuration enabling customers to
have accurate information that will assist in diagnosing problems and delivering rapid resolution when server failures occur.
Audit Logs
Audit Logs are a forensics capability that provides traceability into authenticated firmware updates by capturing changes in standard
system logs.
Authenticated Updates
Authenticated Updates brings cryptographic keys onto the NIC (for HW Authentication) to protect user and configuration data from
unauthorized access
and verify digitally signed firmware.
Auto-negotiation
This adapter automatically senses the speed of the device to which it is attached. It also automatically configures for half or full duplex,
depending on the duplex mode of the switch, hub, or
router connected to the adapter.
Checksum & Segmentation Offload
Normally the TCP Checksum is computed by the protocol stack. Segmentation Offload is technique for increasing outbound throughput
of high
-bandwidth network connections by reducing CPU
overhead. The technique is also called TCP segmentation offload (TSO)
when applied to TCP, or generic segmentation offload (GSO).
Configuration Utilities
This adapter ships with a suite of operating system
-
tailored configuration utilities that allow the user to enable initial diagnostics and
configure adapter teaming. This includes a patented teaming GUI for Microsoft Windows operating systems. Additionally, support for
scripted installations of teams in a Microsoft Windows environment allow for unattended OS installations.
Device-level Firewall
Device
-level Firewall blocks any unmanaged access to memory or storage. This ensures that on-device firmware
and configuration
data can only be accessed by authorized agents.
DMA Coalescing
Supports DMA Coalescing, the incoming data packets and interrupts associated with these DMA calls are intelligently batched to keep
the system devices in lower power states.
DPDK
This adapter supports DPDK with benefit for packet processing acceleration and use in NFV deployments.
Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE)
Combines the functionality of an industry
-standard NIC with an industry-
proven Fibre Channel to seamlessly converge the traffic over
a shared lossless Ethernet network.
HPE Sea of Sensors3D
Support for the HPE Sea of Sensors which is a collection of
32 sensors that automatically track thermal activity - heat -
across the
server. When temperatures get too high, sensors can initiate fans and make other adjustments to reduce energy usage. A significant
improvement lies in the ability to apply fan speed increases only to the portion of the system that is rising in temperature, rather than
all six fans in unison, which reduces the amount of energy used for cooling.
HW Root of Trust
Root of Trust enables a chain of trust for Authenticating updates to firmware via signature validation. This blocks installation of rogue
or corrupted firmware and ensures that the executing firmware is trusted.
