Fujitsu PCI GigabitEthernet 3.0 Network Card User Manual


 
Chapter 1 Product Outline
1.1 Key Features
The FUJITSU GigabitEthernet card is a adapter designed for Solaris OS servers that are
connected to a GigabitEthernet network. This card offers the physical services and data
link services defined by IEEE802.3.
Table 1.1 GigabitEthernet function
Main Function
IEEE802.3 compliant 1000Base-SX(PW008GE4, PW0G8GE1), 1000Base-SX * 2ports(SE0X7GD2X),
10/100/1000Base-T(PW008GE5, PW0G8GE2, PRIMEPOWER250/450 secondary LAN ), 10/100/1000
Base-T * 2ports(SE0X7GD1X), 10/100/1000 Base-T * 4ports(PW008QG1, SE0X7GQ1X)
JumboFrame function*
ndd(1M) command provided by Solaris OS
VLAN* (IEEE 802.3 TagVLAN)
LinkAggregation* (IEEE 802.3 except dynamic LACP protocol)
IPv4/IPv6
SNA/FNA
*JumboFrame, VLAN and LinkAggregation functions are supported after Solaris 8 OS.
* JumboFrame Functionality
Although the maximum frame size (MTU) of one Ethernet packet is 1514 bytes, by using a JumboFrame
function it becomes possible to set MTU from 1514 bytes to 9014 bytes. Use of JumboFrames can
mitigate the CPU load and improve transmission speed.
* Point to Point Connection
Direct connection between FUJITSU PCI GigabitEthernet cards is forbidden, except when used in
the private LAN of a CLUSTER system.
