MXE-5400
1.6.6 Dual Gigabit Ethernet Ports
The two Gigabit Ethernet ports consist of an Intel WGI210IT GbE
controller and a WGI217LM Gigabit Ethernet PHY.
The WG210IT supports:
X IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet
X IEEE 1588/802.1AS precision time synchronization
X IEEE 802.3av traffic shaper
X Interrupt moderation, VLAN support, IP checksum offload
X PCIe OBFF (Optimized Buffer Flush/Fill) for improved sys-
tem power management
X Four transmit and four receive queues
X RSS and MSI-X to lower CPU utilization in multi-core sys-
tems
X ECC - error correcting memory in packet buffers
X Wake-On-LAN
X NC-SI for greater bandwidth passthrough
X SMBus low-speed serial bus to pass network traffic
X Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE) flash interface sup-
port
X Jumbo frame support
X LAN Teaming
The WGI 217LM supports:
X IEEE 802.3u auto-negotiation conformance
X Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) IEEE 802.3az support [Low
Power Idle (LPI) mode]
X Energy Efficient Ethernet(EEE)802.3az
X 10/100/1000 IEEE 802.3-compliant
X Automatic MDI/MDIX crossover at all speeds
X Wake-On-LAN
X Intel® AMT 9.0
X Reduced power consumption during normal operation and
power down modes
