NICPartitioning(NPAR)
Bythisfunction, without having to relyonthe abilityof a network equipment and
an OS, can handle multiple logical ports on a physical port. This product has
been dividedintofourlogical ports per physicalport.
This featureisavailableinsomeoftheOS.
TOE(TCPOffloadEngine)
TOE is atechnology used in network interfacecards (NIC) tooffload processing
of the entire TCP/IP stack to the network controller. TOE has the effect of
significantly reducingtheload ontheCPUblade.
iSCSI Offload(onlyN8403-067F)
This functionality is offloaded to the NIC the iscsiprotocol processing as well as
the TOE. Available as an iSCSI host bus adapters this, iSCSI boot will be
available.

This product has a function of NPAR. In addition N8403-067 has the iSCSI
offload function. Therefore, this product has a more than one logical port, MAC
address differenttoeachlogical portisassigned.
Origin based on the address listed in the MAC address label, the
address isdetermined bythe followingrules.
MAC address ofeach logical port is derived byadding the base valuein
the tablebelowfor the address.
For convenience, the added values of in the table below are quoted in
decimal number. MAC address is actually used, so will be shown in a
hexadecimal number,pleasebecareful.
