Description
High-Speed Performance of 10GBPS Adapter
The Intel X550T2 10GB Server Plug-In Card Ethernet Converged Network Adapter is designed for high-speed performance. It supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10 GbE) speeds, which is significantly faster than traditional Gigabit Ethernet (1 GbE) speeds. This allows for much higher data transfer rates, making it ideal for use in high-performance computing environments where large amounts of data need to be transferred quickly.
The adapter supports full-duplex data transfer, meaning that it can send and receive data at the same time, which greatly improves the overall throughput of the network.
The adapter also supports advanced features such as TCP/IP, iSCSI, and Fiber Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) which allows it to be used in Storage area networks (SANs) and other specialized applications.
Additionally, the adapter supports Quality of Service (QoS) which allows network administrators to prioritize different types of traffic, such as voice or video, for a more efficient use of the available bandwidth.
The adapter also supports large receive offload (LRO) and large send offload (LSO) which reduces CPU utilization and improves the performance of the network.
Management and Monitoring of 2 Ports Adapter
The Intel X550T2 Plug-In Card 10GB Server Network Adapter has a management and monitoring interface that allows network administrators to monitor and configure the adapter.
The management interface can be accessed using Intel’s PROSet utility, which is a software tool that is designed for managing Intel network adapters. It allows you to view the adapter’s status, configure its settings, and update its firmware.
Some of the features that are available through the management interface include:
- Link status: displays the status of the adapter’s connections, including link speed, duplex mode, and error statistics.
- Advanced settings: allows you to configure advanced features such as flow control, VLAN tagging, Quality of Service (QoS) and Jumbo Frames.
- Firmware update: lets you update the adapter’s firmware to the latest version.
- Statistics: provides detailed statistics on the adapter’s performance, including the number of packets transmitted and received, as well as error statistics.
- Remote Management: The management interface also provides support for SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) which enables network administrators to monitor and manage the adapter remotely.
In addition, Intel X550T2 support Intel’s Advanced Network Services (ANS), which provides additional advanced features such as teaming, VLAN tagging and prioritization, and failover protection.
Advanced Features of Server Adapter
The Intel X550T2 10GB Server Plug-In Card Ethernet Converged Network Adapter has a range of advanced features that make it well-suited for use in demanding network environments.
One of the key advanced features of the adapter is its support for multiple protocols, including TCP/IP, iSCSI, and Fiber Channel over Ethernet (FCoE). This allows the adapter to be used in a variety of different applications, such as storage area networks (SANs) and other specialized environments.
The adapter also supports Intel’s Virtualization Technology for Connectivity (VT-c) which enables the adapter to be used in virtualized environments. This allows multiple virtual machines to share a single physical adapter, which can help to improve the overall performance and flexibility of the network.
The adapter also supports advanced flow control and VLAN tagging, which allow network administrators to better control and prioritize network traffic. Quality of Service (QoS) is also supported, which allows network administrators to prioritize different types of traffic, such as voice or video, for a more efficient use of the available bandwidth.
The adapter also supports large receive offload (LRO) and large send offload (LSO) which reduces CPU utilization and improves the performance of the network.
Additionally, Intel X550T2 support Intel’s Advanced Network Services (ANS), which provides additional advanced features such as teaming, VLAN tagging and prioritization, and failover protection.
