Product Overview Product Overview Product Overview The AD386A PCIe 10 Gigabit Ethernet cards have the following features and requirements. The AD386A: • Complies with PCIe Base Specification Rev. 1.1 or later. Reduction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) compliant. Supports PCIe x8 lanes. • Conforms to IEEE 10GBase-SR using multi-mode fiber. Operating distances from 7 ft to 984 ft (2 to 300 meters). It’s still Ethernet. • Operates on 64-bit HP-UX 11i v3 or 11i v2 on HP Integrity servers.
Product Overview Product Overview • Allows you to dynamically load the icxgbe driver into the kernel or unload it from the kernel without a system reboot. Dynamic loading to/unloading from the kernel is available only on HP-UX 11i v3 on specified systems. • Supports 64-bit management information base (MIB) statistics. Directs the data link service (DLS) provider to return 64 bit statistics. • Supports subnetwork-access protocol (SNAP) network-layer protocol encapsulation.

Product Overview 10 Gigabit Ethernet Link Settings 10 Gigabit Ethernet Link Settings This section explains the options available in lanadmin to support the 10 Gigabit Ethernet driver. The lanadmin(1M) tool is used to display and set parameters. Table 2 lists the parameters that can be set with lanadmin -X or displayed with lanadmin -x. NOTE When your system is rebooted, settings that were made via the lanadmin(1M) command will be lost.
Product Overview 10 Gigabit Ethernet Link Settings Table 2 Link Card Parameters that lanadmin can Display (-x) or Set (-X) (Continued) Option Setting -X mf_cko_tx on/off Enables/disables hardware transmit checksum offload for Multi-fragment UDP (IPv4). Multi-fragment transmit CKO will be enabled only when send CKO is enabled. Default: Off. -X mf_cko_rx on/off Enables/disables hardware receive checksum offload for Multi-fragment UDP (IPv4).
Product Overview 10 Gigabit Ethernet Link Settings Transmit/Receive Interrupt Coalescing -- The AD386A card provides four link-utilization ranges and corresponding interrupt coalescing timers. An interrupt will be generated by the card after the interrupt coalescing time has elapsed. The interrupt coalescing timer value in turn depends on the link utilization range. The link utilization ranges and the interrupt coalescing timer value for that link utilization range are programmable.
Product Overview 10 Gigabit Ethernet Link Settings Editing the config file /etc/rc.config.d/hpicxgbeconf saves the configuration across reboots. Alternatively, you can use the lanadmin -X command to temporarily set the ON/OFF value. Using lanadmin, though, will not preserve the configuration value if the system is rebooted. You can set a new value temporarily by using the lanadmin - X command.
