2 New and changed features in this release 2.1 New features The following feature is new with this version of 10GigEthr-03: • Support is added for NC552m. This version enables support for the HP NC552m Dual-Port Flex-10 10GbE BL-c Adapter (part number 610609-B21) on HP Integrity BL8x0c i2 servers. For more information on supported servers, see the HP-UX Ethernet Card Support Matrix on the HP website at: http://www.hp.
• ◦ Changes and clarifications are made to the iocxgbe man page. ◦ New help information is added for ifadmin change requests. The driver statistics are enhanced. The driver statistics are enhanced, as follows: ◦ The nwmgr drv_stats and lanadmin drv_stats commands provide per-port statistics, as in previous versions. Here are example commands to display per-port statistics: – nwmgr -g -q drv_stats -c lanPPA – lanadmin -x drv_stats PPA NOTE: ◦ The lanadmin command is deprecated in HP-UX 11i v3.
NOTE: • ServiceGuard is fully supported on the NC551m Converged Network Adapter. Problems occur when using SNAP (Sub-Network Access Protocol) encapsulation with VLANs. (QXCR1001061473) Severity: Medium SNAP encapsulation enables protocols such as TCP/IP to use an IEEE802.3 SNAP header. This protocol works correctly for non-VLAN devices. For VLAN devices, when a minimum size SNAP packet is received and the VLAN tag is removed, the device incorrectly flags the packet as undersized and discards it.
