User Guide
2. Once NPAR is enabled, the NIC Partitioning Main Configuration Menu option is available from the main NIC
Configuration Menu associated with each physical port.
3. The NIC Partition Configuration Menu (shown below) allows the user to choose the number of partitions that should be
allocated from the selected physical port. Each BCM5741X NIC can support a maximum of 16 partitions on an ARI
capable server. By default, dual-port adapters are configured for eight partitions per physical port. Configuration options
for each partition are also accessible from this menu. For some OEM systems, the HII menu also includes a Global
Bandwidth Allocation page where the minimum (reserved) and maximum (limit) TX Bandwidth for all partitions can be
configured simultaneously.
