Property

Parameter

 

 

Locally Administered

Enables users or administrators to set the Locally Administered Address. This address

Address

overrides the permanent address of the adapter (that may have been flashed to the

 

hardware).

 

Format: Hex

 

Values: Valid/Not Valid (if Valid, enter the 12 hex characters of MAC address)

 

If an invalid MAC address is entered, an error message is logged in the event log. If

 

the MAC Address entered by the user is determined to be invalid, the user input

 

value is ignored and the MAC address used will be the physical address burned on

 

the card. The following addresses are invalid:

 

000000000000

 

FFFFFFFFFFFF

 

Multicast MAC address

 

 

Max Ethernet Frame

Sets the Ethernet frame size for packet transmission and receive (does not include

Size

MAC Header).

 

Default: 1500 (corresponds to 1514 bytes on the wire + 4 bytes of CRC)

 

Min: 1500

 

Max: 8000

 

 

Max Jumbo Buffers

Specifies the number of 8K (jumbo) buffers for receive, in addition to the standard

 

frame size buffers specified by "Max Receive Buffers." This is a separate pool of

 

buffers used by the network adapter when the incoming frame is more than the

 

standard frame size.

 

Default: 4096

 

Value: 1024/2048/4096/8192

 

If the MaxFrameSize is set to 1500, the Max Jumbo Buffers parameter is ignored.

 

 

Maximum Receive

Sets the number of packet buffers on the receive (DMA memory and stack). Size of

Buffers

each buffer is 1536 bytes.

 

Default: 8192

 

Value: 1024/2048/4096/8192/16384

 

 

QoS Packet Tagging

Specifies support for 802.1p (priority) tagging or 802.1q (Vlan) tagging by the

 

Ethernet controller on a per-packet basis.

 

Default: Enabled

 

Values: Enabled/Disabled

 

 

Receive IP Checksum

Enables the receive IP checksum offload.

Offload

Default: Enabled

 

 

Values: Enabled/Disabled

 

 

Receive-side Scaling

Enables dynamic load balancing of incoming traffic across CPUs.

 

 

Receive TCP/UDP

Enables the receive TCP and receive UDP checksum offload.

Checksum Offload

Default: Enabled

 

 

Values: Enabled/Disabled
