3.3.1.1 Encryption
Applies to Crypto enabled OPNs.
The DPU and SuperNICs addresses the concerns of modern data centers by combining hardware
encryption accelerators with embedded software and fully integrated advanced network
capabilities, making it an ideal platform for developing proprietary security applications. It enables
a distributed security architecture by isolating and protecting each workload and providing flexible
control and visibility at the server and workload level; controlling risk at the server access layer
builds security into the DNA of the data center and enables prevention, detection, and response to
potential threats in real-time. DPU can deliver powerful functionality, including encryption of data-
in-motion, bare-metal provisioning, stateful L4 firewall, and more.
3.3.2 Networking Interface
The DPU includes special circuits to protect the card/server from ESD shocks when plugging
copper cables.
The network ports are compliant with the InfiniBand Architecture Specification, Release 1.5.
InfiniBand traffic is transmitted through the cards' QSFP112 connectors.
3.3.3 Networking Ports LEDs Interface
One bicolor (Yellow and Green) I/O LED per port indicates speed and link status.
