Gigabit Ethernet Cards

Features and Benefits of the AD194A

Features and benefits of the AD194A include:

• The Gigabit Ethernet ports support virtual LANs (VLANs). A Virtual LAN (VLAN) is a

logical or virtual network segment that can span multiple physical network segments.

VLANs isolate broadcast and multicast traffic by determining which destinations should

receive that traffic, thereby making better use of switch and end-station resources. With

VLANs, broadcasts and multicasts go only to the intended nodes in the virtual LAN.

• Supports 16k LUNs on the Fibre Channel ports.

• Auto speed sensing on the Fibre Channel ports.

• Supports readout of Vital Product Data (VPD) for Fibre Channel and LAN.

• Supports Virtual Partitions (vPars 3.02 or higher) on specified HP-UX-based systems. Boot

over vPars is supported on the Fibre Channel ports.

• Supports Ignite UX. Ignite-UX (IUX) is an HP-UX administration toolset to help you install

and configure (or recover) HP-UX systems.

• Supports HP Serviceguard and Auto-Port Aggregation (APA) for high availability.

• Supports PCI-X online addition/replacement (OLA/R) on specified systems.

• Offline and online diagnostic tools for both Fibre Channel and LAN.
