Feature Description
NC-SI
The adapter supports a Network Controller Sideband Interface (NC-
SI), MCTP over SMBus and MCTP over PCIe - Baseboard Management
Controller interface.
High-
Performance
Accelerations
• Tag Matching and Rendezvous Offloads
• Adaptive Routing on Reliable Transport
• Burst Buffer Offloads for Background Checkpointing
Host
Management
NVIDIA host management sideband implementations enable remote
monitor and control capabilities using RBT, MCTP over SMBus, and
MCTP over PCIe – Baseboard Management Controller (BMC)
interface, supporting both NC-SI and PLDM management protocols
using these interfaces. NVIDIA OCP 3.0 adapters support these
protocols to offer numerous Host Management features such as
PLDM for Firmware Update, network boot in UEFI driver, UEFI secure
boot, and more.
Secure Boot
Hardware Root-of-Trust (RoT) Secure Boot and secure firmware
update using RSA cryptography, and cloning-protection, via a device-
unique secret key.
Crypto
Crypto – IPsec and TLS data-in-motion inline encryption and
decryption offload and AES-XTS block-level data-at-rest encryption
and decryption offload.
Wake-on-LAN
(WoL)
The adapter supported Wake-on-LAN (WoL), a computer networking
standard that allows an adapter to be turned on or awakened by a
network message.
In STBY mode, only port0 is available.
Reset-on-LAN
(RoL)
Supported
Connection
tracking
ConnectX-6 Lx ASAP² connection-tracking hardware offload
accelerates L4 firewall performance.
IPSec Offload
(in selected
OPNs)
ConnectX-6 Lx adapters offer a range of advanced built-in
capabilities that bring infrastructure security down to every endpoint
with unprecedented performance and scalability. ConnectX-6 Lx
offers IPsec inline encryption/decryption acceleration to offload the
CPU and run the entire data path encryption or decryption in the NIC
hardware while maintaining the line rate.
