Product description
The DGE-550SX Fiber Gigabit adapter is a high-bandwidth network adapter, providing up to 2000Mbps full-duplex bandwidth capacity to support high-end servers. This adapter delivers added performance to the network while working with the existing LAN infrastructure. In addition, with advanced functions like VLAN filtering and hardware-based Chip-Level IP (CLIP) packet processing, the adapter provides added performance, flexible configuration and secure networking to users in a standards-based environment.
Product features
- High performance
Delivering network speed up to 2000Mbps (full-duplex), the adapter brings ample bandwidth to servers up to 500m away. The DGE-550SX offloads the host operating system overhead by providing on-board verification of IP header and TCP/UDP checksum for data received, this in turn frees up server processing power for other applications. - Supports 32-bit/64-bit PCI-X bus configuration
This adapter operates at up to 133MHz with a 32- or 64-bit wide data path. It auto-configures according to the different data path widths, while maintaining compatibility with various server configurations. - VLAN support
The adapter provides on-board screening of VLAN tagged Ethernet frames compliant with IEEE 802.1Q. This allows the server to operate in a flexible and secure network configuration in a standards-based environment. - QoS support
The DGE-550SX supports 802.1p tagging for improved delivery of time sensitive data such as voice and video. The DGE-550SX supports other advanced features such as Jumbo Frame support up to 9KB, Wake-on-LAN management, promiscuous mode, and support for 802.3ad link aggregation for trunking ports to obtain one large bandwidth channel.
