SFP Gigabit Ethernet:



Gigabit Ethernet Adapters with SFP cage support:



1000Base-LX Fiber Gigabit Ethernet with 1000Base-LX SFP transceiver.



1000Base-SX Fiber Gigabit Ethernet with 1000Base-SX SFP transceiver.



SFP (1000Mb/s) Copper Gigabit Ethernet with SFP SFP transceiver.



Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) Cage for SFP LC connectors



2PortLink synchronization



Optional SGMII mode (future support)

Common Key Features:



Support PCI Express Base Specification 2.0 (5 GTs)



High performance, reliability, and low power use in Intel 82580 Quad integrated MAC + PHY and SERDES chip Controllers



Ultra deep, packet buffer per channel lowers CPU utilization.



Hardware acceleration that can offload tasks from the host processor. The Controllers can offload TCP/UDP/IP checksum

calculations and TCP segmentation



Server class reliability, availability and performance features:



Link Aggregation and Load Balancing

o

Switch dependent: 802.3 ad (LACP), Generic Trunking (GEC/FEC)

o

Switch and NIC Independent

o

Failover



Priority queuing

– 802.1p layer 2 priority encoding



Virtual LANs

–802.1q VLAN tagging.



Jumbo Frame (9.5KB).



802.x flow control.



Multicast/ broadcast Packet replication



Statistics for SNMP MIB II, Ethernet like MIB, and Ethernet MIB (802.3z, Clause 30)



Supports Vital Product Data (VPD)



LEDs indicators for link/Activity/Speed status
