2.9 Ethernet Interfaces
2.9.1 Fabric Interface
The fabric interface can be either 10GbE or 1GbE. An E-Keying configuration is required to properly route the
desired connection speed.
The AT8050 has boot from LAN capability (PXE) or iSCSI support on these ports. Enable the option from the
BIOS Setup Program. Please refer to Section 5.1, AMI BIOS Set-up Program.
2.9.1.1 10GbE (i82599EB) connectivity :
The AT8050 has one dual port 10GbE controller (i82599EB) connected to the Fabric Interface. This controller
can also be used as a dual 1Gb.
2.9.1.2 1GbE (i82576EB) connectivity :
While normally connected to the front panel, the i82576EB (1GbE) controller can be connected to the Fabric
interface instead of the i82599EB(10GbE). 10GbE connectivity will no longer be available.
2.9.1.3 i82599EB (Fabric Interface)
Features high performance with TCP/IP and UDP/IP checksum offloading for IPv4 and IPv6, packet filtering,
and jumbo frame up to 15.5K.
