Ethernet Network Compatibility
The HP EFS WAN Accelerator supports the following types of Ethernet networks:
Ethernet Logical Link Control (LLC) (IEEE 802.2 - 2002)
Fast Ethernet 100 Base-TX (IEEE 802.3 - 2002)
Gigabit Ethernet over Copper 1000 Base-T and Fiber 1000 Base-SX (LC
connector) (IEEE 802.3 - 2002)
The Primary port in the HP EFS WAN Accelerator is 10 Base-T/100, Base-TX/1000,
and Base-T/SX Mbps (IEEE 802.3 -2002).
In-path HP EFS WAN Accelerator ports are 10/100/1000 Base-TX or Gigabit Ethernet
1000Base-T/SX (IEEE 802.3 – 2002) (depending on your order).
The HP EFS WAN Accelerator supports Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) Tagging
(IEEE 802.1Q - 2003). It does not support the Cisco InterSwitch Link (ISL) protocol.
All copper interfaces are auto-sensing for speed and duplex (IEEE 802.3 - 2002).
The HP EFS WAN Accelerator auto-negotiates speed and duplex mode for all data
rates and supports full duplex mode and flow control (IEEE 802.3 – 2002).
The HP EFS WAN Accelerator with a Gigabit Ethernet card supports Jumbo Frames
on in-path and primary ports.
