Promiscuous Mode / Multicast Support
The S2Konnect N-3010-10/100/1000Base-T Adapters, supports Promiscu ous Mode for analyzers.
Promiscuous mode means that ail traffic received by the adapter is passed to the CPU and not
only packets addressed to it. By default, the promiscuous mode is turned off. ln addition, the adap-
ters supports multicast (frames can be sent to more than one destination) for special applications,
which use multicast addresses.
PXE / RPL Support
The S2Konnect N-3010-10/100/1000Base-T adapter, supports both the standard PXE 2.1 (Pre-
Boot eXecution Environment) and the protocol RPL (Remote Program Load). This allows networked
computers that are not yet loaded with an operating system to be configured and booted remotely
by an administrator. PXE and RPL grant the advantage that client machines do not necessarily
need an operating system or a hard disk and that they can be rebooted remotely in the event of
hardware or software failures.
Boot Agent ROM
The Boot Agent ROM for S2Konnect N-3010-10/100/1000Base-T adapter, comprises the boot pro-
tocols PXE and RPL, allowing the user to choose between both proto cols during every boot. ln
addition, it includes a setup program where the user can define sev eral default boot options.
