Overview
HP offers a variety of optional adapters (each sold separately) designed to complement your network and enhance the overall computing experience.
  • Supports Jumbo frames
  • Supports virtual LANs (VLANs) for increased flexibility
  • Supports PCIe online addition/replacement (OLA/R) on specified systems
  • Online/Offline diagnostics
  • Ignite-UX support
  • Supports vPars on HPE-UX 11i v2 and 11i v3
  • On board Checksum Offload (CKO) to enhance server efficiency and performance over TCP, UDP, and IPv4
  • IPv4 TCP Segmentation Offload (TSO)
  • LAN boot support on HPE Integrity systems
Supports Jumbo frames Because Jumbo frames reduce a server's CPU processing of network packets, efficiency increases especially for heavy traffic. The same amount of data can be transferred in less frames. The Jumbo frame maximum transmission unit (MTU) size is from 1501 to 9000 bytes. Supports virtual LANs (VLANs) for increased flexibility A Virtual LAN (VLAN) is a logical or virtual network segment that can span multiple physical network segments. VLANs also more efficiently use switches and end-stations by sending broadcasts and multicasts only to the intended nodes. Supports PCIe online addition/replacement (OLA/R) on specified systems Also supports online deletion on HPE-UX 11i v3. The card can still be placed in those shared slots as long as no OL is performed.
