NOTE: In a team, Intel PROSet uses either:
l The primary adapter's permanent MAC address if the team does not have an LAA con-
figured, or
l The team's LAA if the team has an LAA configured.
Intel PROSet does not use an adapter's LAA if the adapter is the primary adapter in a team and the
team has an LAA.
Log Link State Event
This setting is used to enable/disable the logging of link state changes. If enabled, a link up change event or a
link down change event generates a message that is displayed in the system event logger. This message
contains the link's speed and duplex. Administrators view the event message from the system event log.
The following events are logged.
l The link is up.
l The link is down.
l Mismatch in duplex.
l Spanning Tree Protocol detected.

Low Latency Interrupts
LLI enables the network device to bypass the configured interrupt moderation scheme based on the type of
data being received. It configures which arriving TCP packets trigger an immediate interrupt, enabling the
system to handle the packet more quickly. Reduced data latency enables some applications to gain faster
access to network data.
NOTE: When LLI is enabled, system CPU utilization may increase.
LLI can be used for data packets containing a TCP PSH flag in the header or for specified TCP ports.
l Packets with TCP PSH Flag - Any incoming packet with the TCP PSH flag will trigger an immediate
interrupt. The PSH flag is set by the sending device.
l TCP Ports - Every packet received on the specified ports will trigger an immediate interrupt. Up to
eight ports may be specified.
Default Disabled
Range l Disabled
l PSH Flag-Based
l Port-Based
