Description
Installation and Configuration
The HPE FlexFabric 10GB 2-Port 534FLR-SFP+ Adapter is a network interface card (NIC) designed for HPE ProLiant Gen9 and Gen10 servers. It provides two ports, each capable of supporting 10 gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) speeds over fiber optic cables using SFP+ modules.
Here’s a brief overview of the steps involved in installing and configuring this adapter:
- Shutdown the server and unplug it from power. Install the adapter into an available PCIe slot on the motherboard, following the instructions in the server’s user guide.
- Connect the fiber optic cables to the SFP+ modules on the adapter. Ensure that the other end of each cable is connected to the appropriate network device, such as a switch or router.
- Power on the server and log in to the operating system. Install any necessary drivers for the adapter, which should be available from the HPE website or included with the server’s operating system.
- Configure the network settings for the adapter using the operating system’s network configuration tools. This may involve setting the IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and other relevant parameters.
- Test the adapter’s connectivity by pinging other devices on the network, running network benchmarking tools, or performing other network-related tasks.
- Once the adapter is confirmed to be working properly, you can configure any additional features or settings that may be available, such as VLAN tagging, Quality of Service (QoS) settings, or teaming/bonding with other network adapters.
It’s important to note that the specific steps involved in installing and configuring this adapter may vary depending on the server hardware and software being used, as well as the specific network configuration requirements. It’s always a good idea to consult the documentation provided with the adapter and the server, as well as any relevant online resources, to ensure a successful installation and configuration.
Performance and Throughput
The 787869-B21 HPE FlexFabric 10GB 2-Port 534FLR-SFP+ adapter is a network interface card designed for use in HPE servers. This adapter provides two 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports, each of which can be used with SFP+ transceivers to support either fiber optic or copper network connections.
In terms of performance, the 787869-B21 adapter is capable of supporting up to 20 Gbps of aggregate throughput (10 Gbps per port), making it suitable for high-bandwidth applications such as data center virtualization, cloud computing, and storage area networks. This high throughput is achieved through the use of advanced networking technologies such as hardware-based offloading of TCP/IP and UDP/IP protocols, as well as support for jumbo frames and multiple queues.
The 534FLR-SFP+ adapter also supports advanced features such as virtualization, which allows multiple virtual machines to share a single physical adapter without sacrificing performance. Additionally, the adapter supports Quality of Service (QoS) features to prioritize network traffic and ensure that critical applications receive the bandwidth they need.
Management and Monitoring Capabilities
The HPE FlexFabric 10Gb 2-port 534FLR-SFP+ Adapter is a high-performance network adapter designed for HPE servers that supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) connectivity over fiber-optic cables. It is used to provide high-speed connectivity between servers and other network devices such as switches, routers, and storage devices.
The 787869-B21 model of the HPE FlexFabric 10Gb 2-port 534FLR-SFP+ Adapter is equipped with advanced management and monitoring capabilities that allow administrators to monitor and manage network traffic and performance effectively. These capabilities include:
- HPE OneView: HPE OneView is a management platform that provides a unified view of the entire IT infrastructure, including servers, storage, and networking devices. It allows administrators to manage and monitor the HPE FlexFabric adapter along with other HPE devices from a single console.
- Virtual Connect: Virtual Connect is a management tool that allows administrators to create and manage virtual network connections between servers and network devices. It simplifies the network configuration process and allows administrators to change network settings on-the-fly without disrupting network connectivity.
- Network Quality Analyzer (NQA): NQA is a network performance monitoring tool that allows administrators to measure and monitor network performance metrics such as latency, jitter, and packet loss. It helps to identify network performance issues and troubleshoot them quickly.
- Network Telemetry: Network Telemetry is a feature that allows administrators to collect real-time network traffic data and monitor network traffic patterns. This information can be used to optimize network performance and identify security threats.
- Network Virtualization: Network Virtualization is a feature that allows administrators to create and manage virtual network environments. It enables administrators to create isolated network environments that are dedicated to specific applications or departments, ensuring better network performance and security.
