HP StorageWorks Enterprise File Services WAN Accelerator 3.0.4 installation and configuration guide (AG424-96004, March 2007)

10 INTRODUCTION
Hardware and Software Dependencies
The following table summarizes the hardware and software requirements for the HP
EFS WAN Accelerator.
Ethernet Network Compatibility
The HP EFS WAN Accelerator supports the following types of Ethernet networks:
 Ethernet Logical Link Control (LLC) (IEEE 802.2 - 2002)
 Fast Ethernet 100 Base-TX (IEEE 802.3 - 2002)
 Gigabit Ethernet over Copper 1000 Base-T and Fiber 1000 Base-SX (LC
connector) (IEEE 802.3 - 2002)
The Primary port in the HP EFS WAN Accelerator is 10 Base-T/100, Base-TX/1000,
and Base-T/SX Mbps (IEEE 802.3 -2002).
In-path HP EFS WAN Accelerator ports are 10/100/1000 Base-TX or Gigabit Ethernet
1000Base-T/SX (IEEE 802.3 – 2002) (depending on your order).
The HP EFS WAN Accelerator supports Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) Tagging
(IEEE 802.1Q - 2003). It does not support the Cisco InterSwitch Link (ISL) protocol.
All copper interfaces are auto-sensing for speed and duplex (IEEE 802.3 - 2002).
The HP EFS WAN Accelerator auto-negotiates speed and duplex mode for all data
rates and supports full duplex mode and flow control (IEEE 802.3 – 2002).
The HP EFS WAN Accelerator with a Gigabit Ethernet card supports Jumbo Frames
on in-path and primary ports
