does not work if the Power Save setting does not enable WOL.
WOL Speed
Sets the speed at which the network adapter connects to the network while the network adapter is in Wake on LAN mode. By default, the WOL Speed
property is set to Auto. This property is only available for Broadcom NetXtreme adapters.
10 Mb. Sets the speed to 10 Mbit/s. This is the network speed when the system is in a standby mode awaiting a wake-up frame.
100 Mb. Sets the speed to 100 Mbit/s.
Auto (default). Sets the speed for optimum network connection.
NOTES:
Wake on LAN is supported at 10 Mbit/s or 100 Mbit/s.
Wake on LAN is supported on only one adapter in the system at a time.
iSCSI Crash Dump
Crash dump is used to collect information on adapters that were booted remotely using iSCSI. To enable crash dump, set to Enable and reboot the system.
If you perform an upgrade of the device drivers, re-enable iSCSI Crash Dump.
Number of Receive Descriptors
The number of receive descriptors with options of Default, Minimum, and Maximum. Receive descriptors are data segments that allow the network adapter
to allocate receive packets to memory.
Number of Transmit Descriptors
The number of transmit descriptors with value options from 100 to 600 with 200 being the default value. Transmit descriptors are data segments that allow
the network adapter to monitor transmit packets in the system memory.
RSS Queues
Allows configuring RSS queues from 1 to 4. Options are RSS 1 Queue, RSS 2 Queue, and RSS 4 Queue.
Interrupt Moderation
Enables interrupt moderation, which limits the rate of interrupt to the CPU during packet transmission and packet reception. The disabled option allows one
interrupt for every packet transmission and packet reception. Enable is the default option.
Number of RSS Queues
Allows configuring RSS queues. For 1 Gbps network adapters, the RSS queue options are 1, 2, 4, and 8, with 8 RSS queues as the default option. For 10
Gbps network adapters, the RSS queue options are Auto, 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16, with Auto being the default option.
Receive Buffers
The number of receive buffers. Receive buffers are data segments that allow the network adapter to allocate receive packets to memory. For 1 Gbps
adapters, the range of valid receive buffers is 50 to 2000 in increments of 1 with 750 receive buffers as the default value.
Receive Buffers (0=Auto)
The number of receive buffers. Receive buffers are data segments that allow the network adapter to allocate receive packets to memory. For 10 Gbps
adapters, the range of valid receive buffers is 0 to 3000 in increments of 1 with 0 receive buffers as the default value.
Transmit Buffers
The number of transmit buffers. Transmit buffers are data segments that allow the network adapter to monitor transmit packets in the system memory.
The range of valid transmit buffers is 0 to 2500 in increments of 1 with 1500 transmit buffers as the default value.
TCP Connection Offload (IPv4)
Enables and disables TOE offload when using the IPv4 protocol. The default is Enabled.
TCP Connection Offload (IPv6)
Enables and disables TOE offload when using the IPv6 protocol. The default is Enabled.
Pause on Exhausted Host Ring
For BCM57711 network adapters, there are two possible scenarios that can trigger pause frames to be generated: a host ring buffer is exhausted or the
on-chip buffers are depleted. With RSS enabled inside the system, it is possible to achieve better Ethernet throughput if no pause frames are being
generated in a case where a host ring buffer (of multiple RSS rings) is exhausted. The default is Disabled.
Adapters Supporting Remote PHY
The following properties are specific to blade servers using a NetXtreme II BCM5708S adapter that supports the Remote PHY feature.
