Introduction to HPE 2 Ports Converged Network Adapter
The HPE StoreFabric CN1200E 10GB 2Port Converged Network Adapter (CNA) is a high-performance networking card designed to provide superior network connectivity and data transfer rates. It is specifically designed for use in data center environments that require high bandwidth and low latency networking capabilities.
This adapter is built using advanced technologies that enable it to support a variety of protocols, including Ethernet, FCoE, and iSCSI, making it an ideal solution for organizations that need to consolidate their network infrastructure.
The CN1200E CNA is designed to work with HPE’s line of Gen9 and Gen10 servers, and it supports both virtual and physical server environments. It offers two ports, each capable of 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) connectivity, allowing for a total of 20 Gbps of aggregate bandwidth.
The CN1200E also includes a range of advanced features, including support for Quality of Service (QoS) and Virtual Machine Device Queues (VMDq), which help optimize network performance in virtualized environments.
Features and Benefits
The HPE StoreFabric CN1200E 10GB 2Port Converged Network Adapter (CNA) is a high-performance network interface card designed to provide both Ethernet and Fibre Channel connectivity in a single adapter.
Here are some of the features and benefits of this adapter:
- Dual-port 10Gb Ethernet and 8Gb Fibre Channel connectivity: The CN1200E CNA provides two ports, one for Ethernet and the other for Fibre Channel, allowing you to connect to both types of networks with a single adapter.
- Converged network support: This adapter supports converged networking, which means that it can handle multiple traffic types (such as data, storage, and management) over a single connection. This can help reduce cabling and networking infrastructure costs.
- High performance: With support for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and 8 Gigabit Fibre Channel, the CN1200E CNA can provide high-speed connectivity for demanding applications and workloads.
- Enhanced virtualization support: This adapter supports Virtual Machine Queue (VMQ) and Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) technologies, which can help improve virtual machine performance and scalability.
- Reduced power consumption: The CN1200E CNA is designed to be energy-efficient, consuming less power than previous generation CNAs. This can help reduce operational costs and environmental impact.
- Easy deployment: The CN1200E CNA is designed to be easy to install and configure, with support for industry-standard management tools and drivers.
Installation and Configuration
The HPE StoreFabric CN1200E 10GB 2Port Converged Network Adapter is a high-performance network adapter that provides 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity to servers and storage devices. It is designed to be used in converged network environments, where multiple types of traffic (such as data, storage, and management) can be carried over a single network infrastructure.
Installation of the HPE StoreFabric CN1200E 10GB 2Port Converged Network Adapter requires the following steps:
