Yes Yes Yes
1. The I210 does not support filtering of User priority/CFI Bits of VLAN
2. In MCTP without pass through mode, only control commands are supported and not pass through traffic - thus many of
the regular NC-SI commands are not supported or are supported in a limited manner, only to allow control and status
reporting for the device.
3. When working with SGMII interface, this command is not supported.
4. When one of the LAN devices is assigned for the sole use of the manageability and its LAN PCI-E function is disabled, using
the NC-SI Set Link command while advertising multiple speeds and enabling Auto-Negotiation, will result in the lowest
possible speed chosen. To enable higher link speed, the MC should not advertise speeds that are below the desired link
speed. When doing it, changing the power state of the LAN device will have no effect and the link speed will not be re-
negotiated.
5. See Section 10.6.2.4 for details.
