802.1Q VLANs
IEEE 802.1Q virtual local area network (VLAN) protocol allows each physical port of this adapter to be separated into multiple virtual
NICs for added network segmentation and enhanced security and performance. VLANs increase security by isolating traffic betwe
users. Limiting the broadcast traffic to within
Active Health System
Supports HPE Active Health System - monitors and records changes in the server hardware and configuration enabling customers to
have accurate information that will assist in diagnosing problems and delivering rapid resolution when server failures occur.
Audit Logs
Audit Logs are a forensics capability that provides traceability into authenticated firmware updates by capturing changes in standard
system logs.
Authenticated Updates
Authenticated Updates brings cryptographic keys onto the NIC (for HW Authentication) to protect user and configuration data from
unauthorized access and verify digitally signed firmware.
Auto-negotiation
This adapter automatically senses the speed of the device to which it is attached. It also automatically configures for half or full duplex,
depending on the duplex mode of the switch, hub, or router connected to the adapter.
Checksum & Segmentation Offload
Normally the TCP Checksum is computed by the protocol stack. Segmentation Offload is technique for increasing outbound throughput
of high-bandwidth network connections by reducing CPU overhead. The technique is also called TCP segmentation offload (TSO)
when applied to TCP
Configuration Utilities
This adapter ships with a suite of operating system-tailored configuration utilities that allow the user to enable initial diagnostics and
configure adapter teaming. This includes a patented teaming GUI for Microsoft Windows operating systems. Additionally, support for
scripted installations of teams in a Microsoft Windows environment allow for unattended OS installations.
Device-level Firewall
Device

data can only be accessed by authorized agents.
DMA Coalescing
Supports DMA Coalescing, the incoming data packets and interrupts associated with these DMA calls are intelligently batched to keep
the system devices in lower power states.
DPDK
This adapter supports DPDK with benefit for packet processing acceleration and use in NFV deployments.
Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE)
Combines the functionality of an industry
proven Fibre Channel to seamlessly converge the traffic over
a shared lossless Ethernet network.
HPE Sea of Sensors3D
Support for the HPE Sea of Sensors which is a collection of
across the
server. When temperatures get too high, sensors can initiate fans and make other adjustments to reduce energy usage. A significant
improvement lies in the ability to apply fan speed increases only to the portion of the system that is rising in temperature, rather than
all six fans in unison, which reduces the amount of energy used for cooling.
HW Root of Trust
Root of Trust enables a chain of trust for Authenticating updates to firmware via signature validation. This blocks installation of rogue
or corrupted firmware and ensures that the executing firmware is trusted.

Interrupt Coalescing
Interrupt coalescing (interrupt moderation) groups multiple packets, thereby reducing the number of interrupts sent to the host. This
process optimizes host efficiency, leaving the CPU available for other duties.
iWARP
Delivers RDMA on top of the pervasive TCP/IP protocol. iWARP RDMA runs over standard network and transport layers and works
with all Ethernet network infrastructure. TCP provides flow control and congestion management and does not require a lossless

Message Signaled Interrupt (Extended)(MSI-X)
Message Signaled Interrupt (Extended) provides performance benefits for multi-core servers by load balancing interrupts between
CPUs/cores.
Network Adapter Teaming
This adapter support for NIC teaming helps IT administrators increase network fault tolerance and increased network bandwidth, the
team of adapters can work together as a single virtual adapter, providing support for several different types of teaming enabling IT
administrators to optimize availability, improve performance and help reduce costs.
Network Fault Tolerance (NFT)
Network Fault Tolerance, sometimes called "failover" or "NIC Redundancy," allows for the installation of multiple server adapters so that
the active device can be backed up by a redundant adapter to improve availability. The Hewlett Packard Enterprise teaming utility also
allows users to specify that when a failed adapter is fixed and replaced, the original adapter resumes its function as the primary network
connection.
Network Partitioning (NPAR)
This adapter supports Network Partitioning (NPAR) allowing administrators to configure a 10 Gb port as four separate partitions or
physical functions. Each PCI function is associated with a different virtual NIC. To the OS and the network, each physical function
appears as a separate NIC port.
Optimized for Virtualization
I/O Virtualization support for VMware NetQueue and Microsoft VMQ helps meet the performance demands of consolidated virtual
workloads.
Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE)
Support for PXE enables automatic deployment of computing resources remotely from anywhere. It allows a new or existing server to
boot over the network and download software, including the operating system, from a management/ deployment server at another

Precision Time Protocol (IEEE 1588 PTP)
Synchronization of system clocks throughout a network, achieving clock accuracy in the sub-microsecond range, making it suitable for

RDMA

user memory of the source server to the user memory of the destination server bypassing the operating system (OS) kernel.

Receive Flow Steering (RFS)
Receive Flow Steering (RFS) acceleration improves processing efficiency by steering received packets to the CPU core that is running
the application that consumes those packets. Aligning I/O processing to the CPU core running the application improves cache
efficiency, CPU utilization, throughput and latency.
Receive Side Scaling (RSS)
RSS resolves the single-processor bottleneck by allowing the receive side network load from a network adapter to be shared across
multiple processors. RSS enables packet receive-processing to scale with the number of available processors.
Sanitization
Sanitization (Secure User Data Erase) renders User and configuration data on the NIC irretrievable so that NICs can be safely
repurposed or disposed.

For overall improved system response, this adapter supports standard TCP/IP offloading techniques including: TCP/IP, UDP checksum
offload (TCO) moves the TCP and IP checksum offloading from the CPU to the network adapter. Large send offload (LSO) or TCP
segmentation offload (TSO) allows the TCP segmentation to be handled by the adapter rather than the CPU.
TOE
TCP/IP Offload Engine (TOE) shifts the processing of data in the TCP protocol stack from the server CPU to the adapter's processor,
freeing server CPU cycles for other operations.
Tunnel Offload
Minimize the impact of overlay networking on host performance with tunnel offload support for VXLAN, NVGRE and GENEVE. By
offloading packet processing to adapters, customers can use overlay networking to increase VM migration flexibility and virtualized
overlay networks with minimal impact to performance. HPE Tunnel Offloading increases I/O throughput, reduces CPU utilization, and
lowers power consumption. Tunnel Offload supports VMware's VXLAN, Microsoft's NVGRE solutions and Generic Network
Virtualization Encapsulation (GENEVE) solutions.
