Set the ports on the card and on your switch according to the following table. The
newest supported configuration is shown in the second row.
— TCP Segmentation Offload (TSO). See details in “Support for TCP
Segmentation Offload (TSO)” on page 18 of this document. TSO is not supported
on the gelan or btlan drivers.
— 64-bit management information base (MIB) statistics. Directs the data link
service (DLS) provider to return 64 bit statistics. The GigEther-00 driver
software bundle (gelan driver) also supports 64-bit (MIB) statistics on HP-UX
11i v2 of September 2004.
— IEEE 802.1Q Virtual LAN (VLAN) tagging and IEEE 802.1p Priority Queuing
on HP-UX 11i v1 and the September 2004 Release of 11i v2.) The VLAN feature
was on HP-UX 11i v1 since June 2004 but was not on the HP-UX 11i v2 release
of March 2004. This feature is described in Using HP-UX VLANs on
http://docs.hp.com.
— HP-UX LAN provider support. You can use WBEM-based clients to access the
LAN Provider and collect information about the Ethernet links on your system.
For details on the LAN provider, please refer to the documentation for the LAN
Provider on http://docs.hp.com.
• The GigEther-00 driver software bundle (gelan) driver and the always-installed
Fast Ethernet btlan driver provide:
— 64-bit management information base (MIB) statistics. Directs the data link
service (DLS) provider to return 64 bit statistics.
— Virtual LANs (VLANs). This feature was on HP-UX 11i v1 since June 2004 but
