ConnectX®-6 Lx SR-IOV technology provides dedicated adapter resources and guaranteed isolation and protection for virtual machines (VM) within the
server.
The adapter supports a Network Controller Sideband Interface (NC-SI), MCTP over SMBus and MCTP over PCIe - Baseboard Management Controller
interface.
• Tag Matching and Rendezvous Offloads
• Adaptive Routing on Reliable Transport
• Burst Buffer Offloads for Background Checkpointing
NVIDIA host management sideband implementations enable remote monitor and control capabilities using RBT, MCTP over SMBus, and MCTP over PCIe –
Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) interface, supporting both NC-SI and PLDM management protocols using these interfaces. NVIDIA OCP 3.0
adapters support these protocols to offer numerous Host Management features such as PLDM for Firmware Update, network boot in UEFI driver, UEFI
secure boot, and more.
Hardware Root-of-Trust (RoT) Secure Boot and secure firmware update using RSA cryptography, and cloning-protection, via a device-unique secret key.
Crypto – IPsec and TLS data-in-motion inline encryption and decryption offload and AES-XTS block-level data-at-rest encryption and decryption offload.
The adapter supported Wake-on-LAN (WoL), a computer
message.
In STBY mode, only port0 is available.
Supported
ConnectX-6 Lx ASAP² connection-tracking hardware offload accelerates L4 firewall performance.
ConnectX-6 Lx adapters offer a range of advanced built-in capabilities that bring infrastructure security down to every endpoint with unprecedented
performance and scalability. ConnectX-6 Lx offers IPsec inline encryption/decryption acceleration to offload the CPU and run the entire data path
encryption or decryption in the NIC hardware while maintaining the line rate.
ConnectX-6 Lx delivers supply chain protection with hardware Root-of-Trust (RoT) for Secure Boot as well as Secure Firmware Update using RSA
cryptography and cloning protection, via a device-unique key, to guarantee firmware authenticity
