Lenovo ThinkSystem Broadcom 5720 Ethernet Adapter

Lenovo ThinkSystem Broadcom 5720 1GbE RJ45 2-Port PCIe Ethernet Adapter

Overview:

The Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet Adapters are a family of high performance PCIe and OCP adapters. The adapters are available with either two ports or four ports and are supported on ThinkSystem and System x servers.

Features:

• One, two, or four 10/100/1000 copper ports with RJ45 for Cat 5e/6 cabling
• Full line-rate performance across all ports
• Standard form factor adapters, either PCIe low profile or OCP 3.0 SFF
• PCI Express 2.0 host interface
• Jumbo Frames support (9600 bytes frames)
• Wake-on-LAN (WoL) support
• IEEE 802.1q VLAN support – provides enhanced network management and efficiency
• I/O virtualization (IOV) support for VMWare NetQueue and Microsoft VMQ – improves network performance in virtualized environments
• IEEE 802.3x flow control support
• IEEE 802.3ad link aggregation support
• IEEE 802.3 auto-negotiation support
• Automatic MDI crossover
• Receive and transmit side scaling
• TCP, IP, and UDP checksum offload
• Message Signaled Interrupts (MSI) and MSI-X support – Maximizes server processing performance by reducing CPU overhead and lowering interrupt latency
• On-chip temperature monitor (NetXteme I only)
• IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) compliant – Reduces adapter power consumption by up to 42% through intelligent adaptive power management, adjusting power based on data traffic load. (NetXtreme I only)
• IEEE 802.3z (Clause 30) – Statistics for SNMP MIB II, Ethernet like MIB, and Ethernet MIB (NetXtreme I only)
• IEEE 1588 Precision Time Control and 802.1AS time synchronization support – Provides greater accuracy of data packet delivery within the network (NetXtreme I only)
• Management using Broadcom Advanced Control Suite (BACS), Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI), and Broadcom Management API (BMAPI)
