Configuring the Gigabit Ethernet controller

The server comes with an integrated Ethernet controller. This controller provides an 
interface for connecting to 10-Mbps, 100-Mbps, or 1000-Mbps networks and provides 
full duplex (FDX) capability, which enables simultaneous transmission and reception 
of data on the Ethernet local area network (LAN).

When you connect your server to the network, the Ethernet controller automatically 
detects the data-transfer rate (10-Mbps, 100-Mbps, or 1000-Mbps) on the network and 
then sets the controller to operate at the appropriate rate. In addition, if the Ethernet 
ports that your server is connected to support auto-negotiation, the Gigabit Ethernet 
controller will set the appropriate duplex state. That is, the Ethernet controller will 
adjust to the network data rate, whether the data rate is standard Ethernet (10BASE-
T),  Fast Ethernet (100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T), half duplex (HDX), or full duplex 
(FDX). The controller supports half-duplex (HDX) and full-duplex (FDX) modes at both 
speeds.

Note: See the documentation on the Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet 

Software CD that came with your server for information about configuring the 
Ethernet controller.

High-performance Ethernet modes

Your Ethernet controller supports optional modes, such as teaming, load balancing, 
fault tolerance, and virtual LANs, which provide higher performance, security, and 
throughput for your server. These modes apply to the integrated Ethernet controller 
and to the controllers on supported Ethernet adapters, such as the IBM 10/100/1000 
Ethernet Adapter or the IBM 10/100/1000 EtherJet

 PCI family of adapters.

Teaming mode:  

Your Ethernet controller provides options, called teaming 

options, that apply to supported Ethernet controllers. A team can consist of two or 
more Ethernet controllers, two Ethernet adapters, or a mix of integrated Ethernet 
controllers and Ethernet adapters. These options increase throughput and fault 
tolerance when running with Windows 2000, Windows NT 4.0, Linux, or NetWare 4.1x 
or later. 

Adapter fault tolerance (AFT) provides automatic redundancy for your Ethernet 
controllers. You can configure either one of the integrated Ethernet controllers or 
an Ethernet adapter as the primary Ethernet controller. If the primary link fails, the 
secondary controller takes over. When the primary link is restored to an 
operational state, the Ethernet traffic switches back to the primary Ethernet 
controller. Adapter fault tolerance supports from two to four controllers per team.

Adaptive load balancing (ALB) enables you to balance the transmission data 
flow among two to four controllers. ALB also includes the AFT option. You can use 
ALB with any 100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T switch.

Cisco Fast EtherChannel (FEC) creates a team of two to four controllers to 
increase transmission and reception throughput. FEC also includes the AFT 
option. You can use FEC only with a switch that has FEC capability.

If you use supported Ethernet adapters in your server, refer to the documentation that 
comes with the adapters for more information about the teaming modes.

Virtual LAN mode:  

A virtual LAN (VLAN) is a logical grouping of network 

devices put together as a LAN, regardless of their physical grouping or collision 
domains. Using VLANs increases network performance and improves network 
security.
