Product description
The HPE Ethernet 4-port 331T adapter features great Ethernet integration, offering a single chip solution that reduces power requirements and optimizes I/O slot utilization. It delivers full line-rate performance across all ports with low power consumption. The HPE 331T is ideal for virtualization, security, server consolidation, network segmentation, and other applications requiring maximum throughput and port density. The high total aggregate throughput meets the needs of customers desiring high bandwidth. The HPE 331T supports advanced features such as large send and receive offload capability, TCP checksum and segmentation, VLAN tagging, jumbo frames, virtualization features, and much more.
Product features
- Quad-port 1 Gigabit Ethernet throughput
The HPE 331T adapter provides high full duplex Ethernet transfer rate per port and delivers outstanding network performance that improves response time and removes bottlenecks. Four ports on a single adapter are ideal for high density, I/O slot constrained servers, virtualization and security, applications, server consolidation, and increased network segmentation. The high total aggregate throughput in full-duplex mode also meets the needs for customers desiring high bandwidth but are not yet ready to move to 10 Gigabit Ethernet. - Jumbo frames support
Jumbo frames can help achieve higher throughput and better CPU utilization and are particularly useful for database transfer and tape backup operations. - 802.1Q VLANs
IEEE 802.1Q VLAN protocol allows each physical port of the HPE 331T to be separated into multiple virtual NICs for added network segmentation and enhanced security and performance. VLANs increase security by isolating traffic between users. Limiting the broadcast traffic to within the same VLAN domain also improves performance. - Auto-negotiation
The HPE 331T automatically senses the speed of the device to which it is attached. It also automatically configures for full duplex, depending on the duplex mode of the switch, hub, or router connected to the adapter. - PXE boot support
Support for pre-boot execution environment (PXE) enables automatic deployment of computing resources remotely from anywhere. It allows a new or existing server to boot over the network and download software, including the operating system, from a management/deployment server at another location on the network. Additionally, PXE enables decentralized software distribution and remote troubleshooting and repairs.
