Description
Product Overview of Network Adapter
VWWP7 Dell Broadcom 57711 is a network interface card designed to provide high-speed connectivity and advanced features to servers. The card is specifically designed for the Dell PowerEdge R910 server and offers two 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports with Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP+) connectors and two 1 Gigabit Ethernet ports with RJ-45 connectors. The card also features two USB ports that can be used for remote management or additional connectivity.
High-Speed Connectivity
The VWWP7 Dell Broadcom 57711 is designed to provide high-speed connectivity to servers, especially in data centers and other enterprise-level applications. The card features two 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports with SFP+ connectors that support both fiber and copper media. The SFP+ ports can be used to connect to other devices that support 10 Gigabit Ethernet, such as switches, routers, and storage systems. The card also features two 1 Gigabit Ethernet ports with RJ-45 connectors that support copper media. These ports can be used for backward compatibility with older devices that do not support 10 Gigabit Ethernet.
Advanced Features
The VWWP7 Dell Broadcom 57711 offers advanced features that enhance the performance and reliability of the network. The card supports hardware-based TCP/IP offload engine (TOE) that offloads the processing of TCP/IP packets from the server’s CPU to the network card. This reduces the CPU utilization and increases the overall performance of the server. The card also supports Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) that enables high-speed data transfers between servers without the need for CPU intervention. This further enhances the performance and reduces latency in data-intensive applications.
In addition, the card supports jumbo frames, which are larger than the standard Ethernet frame size. Jumbo frames reduce the number of packets required to transmit a large file, which reduces the overhead and increases the throughput. The card also supports Virtual LAN (VLAN) tagging, which enables the segregation of network traffic into different VLANs. This enhances security and allows for better traffic management in large networks.
Management and Monitoring
The VWWP7 Dell Broadcom 57711 comes with comprehensive management and monitoring tools that allow administrators to configure, manage, and monitor the network card remotely. The card supports the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) that enables the monitoring of network performance and the detection of network faults. The card also supports the Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) that provides remote management and monitoring of the server, including power management, system health, and event logging.
The card also comes with a web-based graphical user interface (GUI) that allows administrators to configure and manage the network card using a web browser. The GUI provides access to all the advanced features of the card, including VLAN tagging, jumbo frames, and TOE.
Connectivity
The VWWP7 Dell Broadcom 57711 offers two USB ports that can be used for remote management or additional connectivity. The USB ports can be used to connect to external devices, such as a keyboard, mouse, or storage device. The USB ports can also be used to connect to a remote management console, such as the Dell iDRAC (Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller), which enables remote management of the server from anywhere in the world.
Compatibility
The VWWP7 Dell Broadcom 57711 is specifically designed for the Dell PowerEdge R910 server, but it can also be used in other servers that support PCI Express (PCIe) 2.0. The card is compatible with a wide range of operating systems, including Microsoft Windows, Linux, VMware, and Citrix XenServer.
