Network adaptersThe SR550 server has two onboard 1 GbE ports (no 10/100 Mb support) and up to two additional onboard1/10 GbE network ports (no 10/100 Mb support) with optional LOM cards. Onboard ports and LOM cardsuse the Intel Ethernet Connection X722 1/10 GbE technology integrated into the Intel C622 PlatformController Hub (PCH). The server also supports ML2 adapters that are installed in the custom ML2 slotprovided by an ML2 riser card. The LOM cards support direct connectivity to the XClarity Controller via theNetwork Controller Sideband Interface (NSCI) for out-of-band systems management.Note: ML2 network adapters do not support NSCI when used in the SR550 server.The integrated Intel Ethernet Connection X722 has the following features:Two 1 Gb Ethernet ports (no 10/100 Mb Ethernet support)Two 1/10 Gb Ethernet capable ports (no 10/100 Mb Ethernet support)NIC Teaming (load balancing and failover)DataCenter BridgingiWARP (RDMA over IP)VMDq and SR-IOV virtualization (10 Gb speeds only, 4 PFs, 128 VFs per device)IEEE 802.1q Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs)NVGRE, VXLAN, IPinGRE, and MACinUDP network virtualizationIEEE 802.1Qbg Edge Virtual BridgingTCP, IP, and UDP checksum offloadLarge Send Offload (LSO) and Generic Send Offload (GSO)Receive Side Scaling (RSS) for TCP and UDP trafficJumbo frames up to 9.5 KbytesThe following table lists the network adapters that are supported with the SR550 server.Table 25.
