SysKonnect SK-9E21D 10/100/1000Base-T Adapter PCI Express
Promiscuous Mode / Multicast Support 33
Promiscuous Mode / Multicast Support
The SysKonnect SK-9E21D 10/100/1000Base-T Adapter, PCI Express, supports promiscu-
ous mode for analyzers. By default, the promiscuous mode is turned off. In addition, the
adapter supports multicast for special applications, which use multicast addresses.
Alert Standard Format (ASF)
The SysKonnect SK-9E21D 10/100/1000Base-T Adapter, PCI Express, fully supports inte-
grated ASF 2.0 (Alert Standard Format) functionality that enables monitoring and remote con-
trolling of client systems that are in “Shut down” or “OS absent” states.
Possible usage scenarios for ASF are:
• System’s Health Monitoring (e. g. Voltage and Temperature alerts)
• Asset Management (e. g. Chassis intrusion alerts)
• Remote Management and Control (e. g. Power down and System reset)
PXE / RPL Support
The SysKonnect SK-9E21D 10/100/1000Base-T Adapter, PCI Express, supports both the
standard PXE 2.1 (Pre-Boot eXecution Environment) and the protocol RPL (Remote Program
Load). This allows networked computers that are not yet loaded with an operating system to
be configured and booted remotely by an administrator. PXE resp. RPL grants the advantage
that client machines do not necessarily need an operating system or a hard disk and that they
can be rebooted remotely in the event of hardware or software failures.
Advanced Power Management / Wake on LAN
The SysKonnect SK-9E21D 10/100/1000Base-T Adapter, PCI Express, supports power man-
agement as defined in the PCI Bus Power Management Interface Specification V1.1 and Net-
work Device Class Power Management Reference Specification V2.0. The power
management features are implemented according to the Advanced Configuration and Power
Interface Specification V2.0.
The SysKonnect SK-9E21D Adapter utilizes an auxiliary power supply to keep some parts
running. This setting enables the PCI Express network device to “Wake on LAN”.
The Wake on LAN functionality uses three mechanisms to create a wake up event:
• OnNow Pattern Match Detect
Incoming packets are compared to up to seven patterns stored in a pattern matching
table. A match causes a wake up event.
• Magic Packet
TM
Detect
The incoming data stream is searched for a so-called magic packet frame that consists of
6 bytes of 0xFF followed by 16 iterations of the adapter’s MAC address. If this sequence
is found, a wake up event is created.
• Link Change Detect
Any change of the link status will cause a wake up event.
Wake on LAN is supported by Windows 98 SE, Windows Me, Windows 2000, Windows XP
and Windows Server 2003.
