NetXtreme-E User Guide User Guide for Dell Platforms
The supported combination of link speed settings for two port NetXtreme-E network controllers are shown in Table 27.
NOTE: 1 Gb/s link speed for SFP+/SFP28 is currently not support in this release.
P1 – Port 1 setting.
P2 – Port 2 setting.
AN – Auto-negotiation.
No AN – Forced speed.
{link speed} – Expected link speed.
The BCM57414 does not support independent link speed. All ports must operate at the same speed. For example, the
ports cannot be set for port1 = 10G and port2 = 25G. Only the BCM5751X supports independ port speeds.
BCM9575XX Supported Combinations of Link Speed Settings (25/50G)
All port link speeds are independent of each other.
Each port can be configured as forced or auto-negotiate for any speed supported by the device.
AN {link speeds} – Advertised supported auto-negotiation link speeds.
