10 Gigabit Ethernet

The 10GigEthr-00 bundle supplies the ixgbe driver. The product bundle is followed by the driver name in parentheses: 10GigEthr-00 (ixgbe)

The ixgbe product is enhanced to add the following new features:

Online deletion (OLD) allows removal of supported networking and I/O cards.
Module packaging. The kernel code is partially pre-linked to speed up kernel link times and improve runtime performance. Pre-linking can do some sophisticated code optimization.
PCI Error Handling and Recovery support.
64-bit management information base (MIB) statistics support directs the Data Link Service provider to return 64-bit statistics.
Security Containment support. For details, please refer to the HP-UX 11i Security Containment Introduction -- HP-UX 11i Security Containment Administrator’s Guide. See ““Documentation”” below.
Network Interfaces Configuration tool support for web-based networking configuration. This is a module within the HP System Management Homepage (HP SMH) tool. It replaces the SAM tool.
nwmgr support and associated manpage. nwmgr is the command-line based tool for configuring networking.
