BROADCOM 5721 NETXTREME GIGABIT ETHERNET DRIVER DOWNLOAD

The following is a list of the Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet adapter features for all supported operating systems:. Using the Broadcom teaming software, you can split your network into virtual LANs VLANs as well as group multiple network adapters into teams to provide network load balancing and fault tolerance functionality. Support for multicast addresses via bits hashing hardware function. When traffic is light, the adapter driver interrupts the host for each received packet, minimizing latency. The BACS2 utility also enables you to perform detailed tests, diagnostics, and analysis on each adapter, as well as to modify property values and view traffic statistics for each adapter. Broadcom supports Wake on LAN on one adapter in the system at a time. Broadcom Advanced Control Suite 2 also provides information about the status of the network link and activity see Vital Sign.

Broadcom Advanced Control Suite 2 BACS2a component of the Broadcom teaming software, is an integrated ethernett that provides useful information about each network adapter that is installed in your system.

Functionality and Features: Broadcom NetXtreme® 57XX User Guide

When traffic is heavy, the adapter issues one host interrupt for etyernet, back-to-back incoming packets, preserving host CPU cycles. Broadcom supports Wake on LAN on one adapter in the system at a time.

Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet adapters have software support for the following operating systems:. Adapter speed connection when the system is down waiting for a wake-up signal is figabit 10 Mbps or Mbps, but can return to Mbps when the system is up and running if connected to a Mbps capable switch.

Network Link and Activity Indication. As a bus master, the adapter requests access to the PCI bus, instead of waiting to be polled.

The BACS2 utility also enables you to perform detailed tests, diagnostics, and analysis on each adapter, as well as to modify property values and view traffic statistics for each adapter. Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet adapters target the increased congestion experienced at the backbone and system in today's networks and provide a future upgrade path for systems that require more bandwidth than Fast Ethernet can provide.

The adapter driver intelligently adjusts host interrupt frequency based on traffic conditions, to increase overall brooadcom throughput. The following is a list of the Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet adapter features for all supported operating systems:.

Broadcom NetXtreme BCM5721 Pci-express Server Gigabit Network Adapter Card

Broadcom Advanced Control Suite 2 broavcom provides information about the status of the network link and activity see Vital Sign. Support for multicast addresses via bits hashing hardware function.

When traffic is light, the adapter driver interrupts the host for each received packet, minimizing latency. This also enables the adapter drivers to exploit the built-in host offload functions on the adapter as host operating systems are enhanced to take advantage of these functions. Using the Broadcom teaming software, you can split your network into virtual LANs VLANs as well as group multiple network adapters into teams to provide network load balancing and fault tolerance functionality.

This provides the flexibility to add new features to the card and adapt it to future network requirements through software downloads.
