Description
Enhanced Network Performance
The HPE Ethernet 1GB 2-Port 332t Adapter is designed to deliver enhanced network performance. Here are some of the ways it achieves this:
- High-speed Connectivity: The adapter supports high-speed connectivity up to 1 Gbps, enabling fast data transfer rates and low latency.
- Large Send Offload (LSO): The adapter includes support for LSO, which offloads the task of breaking large data packets into smaller ones from the CPU to the adapter, reducing CPU utilization and improving network performance.
- Receive Side Scaling (RSS): The adapter includes support for RSS, which allows the adapter to distribute incoming network traffic across multiple CPUs, improving network performance and reducing CPU utilization.
- TCP/IP Offload Engine (TOE): The adapter supports TOE, which offloads TCP/IP processing from the CPU to the adapter, improving network performance and reducing CPU utilization.
- Jumbo Frames: The adapter includes support for Jumbo Frames, which allow for the transmission of larger data packets, reducing the number of packets that need to be transmitted and improving network performance.
- Low Latency: The adapter includes features that help reduce network latency, such as interrupt coalescing, which allows the adapter to batch multiple interrupts into a single interrupt, reducing the number of interrupts generated and improving network performance.
- Load Balancing: The adapter supports load balancing, which allows for the distribution of network traffic across multiple network adapters, improving network performance and reducing network congestion.
Simplified Network Management
The HPE Ethernet 1GB 2-Port 332t Adapter is designed to simplify network management, making it easier to deploy, configure, and manage. Here are some of the ways it achieves this:
- Common Driver: The adapter uses a common driver that works across multiple HPE Ethernet adapters, reducing the complexity of managing different driver versions and configurations.
- Simple Installation: The adapter features a simple installation process, with easy-to-follow instructions and a user-friendly interface, reducing the time and effort required for installation.
- Plug-and-Play: The adapter supports plug-and-play functionality, allowing it to be quickly and easily installed without requiring manual configuration.
- Centralized Management: The adapter can be centrally managed using HPE System Management tools such as HPE Integrated Lights Out (iLO) or HPE OneView, which simplifies network management and reduces administrative overhead.
- Remote Management: The adapter supports remote management, enabling administrators to manage the adapter and its configuration remotely, reducing the need for onsite visits and simplifying network management.
- SNMP Monitoring: The adapter supports Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) monitoring, enabling administrators to monitor and manage the adapter and its performance remotely.
- Diagnostic Tools: The adapter includes diagnostic tools that help administrators identify and troubleshoot network issues quickly and efficiently.
- Firmware Updates: The adapter supports online firmware updates, which allows for easy and convenient firmware updates without interrupting network traffic or requiring downtime.
- Multi-OS Support: The adapter is designed to work with a variety of operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and VMware, making it easier to deploy and manage in multi-OS environments.
- User-Friendly Interface: The adapter includes a user-friendly interface that simplifies configuration and management tasks, reducing the need for specialized networking knowledge and skills.
Advanced Network Security
The HPE Ethernet 1GB 2-Port 332t Adapter includes advanced network security features designed to help protect against a range of network security threats. Here are some of the ways it achieves this:
- MACsec: The adapter includes support for Media Access Control Security (MACsec), which provides hardware-based encryption for network traffic, helping to protect against eavesdropping, tampering, and other security threats.
- Secure Boot: The adapter includes secure boot functionality, which ensures that the adapter only loads authorized firmware, helping to prevent unauthorized access to the adapter.
- IPsec Offload: The adapter includes support for Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) offload, which offloads the processing of IPsec traffic from the CPU to the adapter, reducing CPU utilization and improving network performance while providing strong security for IP traffic.
- Virtual LAN (VLAN): The adapter includes support for VLAN tagging, which allows network traffic to be segregated into separate virtual LANs, providing an additional layer of security and helping to prevent unauthorized access to sensitive network resources.
- Advanced Encryption Standard (AES): The adapter includes support for AES encryption, which provides strong encryption for network traffic, helping to protect against security threats such as eavesdropping and tampering.
- Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP): The adapter supports LACP, which provides a secure and reliable method for aggregating multiple network connections into a single logical connection, helping to prevent network congestion and ensuring that network traffic is distributed evenly across available connections.
- IPv6: The adapter includes support for IPv6, the latest version of the Internet Protocol, which includes a range of security features such as IPsec and secure neighbor discovery, helping to protect against security threats such as address spoofing and denial of service (DoS) attacks.
