D-Link DGE-530T [8/47] Advanced features

DGE-530T Gigabit Ethernet Adapter Card

Advanced Features

Wake On LAN

This Wake-on-LAN function can wake up the system from the sleeping mode to the fully powered mode

over the network immediately and automatically. Once the system is awake, it can be directed to run

management utilities. This function increases end-user productivity by avoiding disruptions during

working hours.

QoS

The QoS function allows the DGE-530T to transmit and receive tagged frames, such as 802.1p priority

tagged frames and 802.1Q VLAN tagged frames. In order for the QoS to function on the DGE-530T, it

must be connected to a switch that supports and is configured for QoS. These priority tagged frames

will let real-time programs optimally utilize the network bandwidth. High priority packets will be

processed before low priority packets.

NOTE: To implement QoS on the DGE-530T, it must be connected to a switch or other device

that supports and is configured for 802.1p QoS.

Jumbo Frames

Jumbo Frames are Ethernet frames that are larger than 1518 bytes. Jumbo frames may be used to

reduce server CPU utilization and improve wire efficiency.

By implementing extra data in fewer packets, jumbo frames can increase throughput and decrease

CPU utilization. However, additional latency may be introduced.

End-to-end network hardware must support this capability or these packets will be dropped.

Consult your network administrator or switch manual for more information concerning configuring and

understanding Jumbo Frames.

• Supported protocols are limited to IP (TCP, UDP).

• Jumbo frames require compatible switch connections that forward jumbo frames. Contact

your switch vendor or manual for additional information.

• There is no benefit to configure jumbo frames if standard size Ethernet frames (64 to1518

bytes) are used.

• Jumbo frames may be simultaneously used with VLANs.
