2.2 Feature Description

802.1Q VLAN
The MZ710 supports a maximum of 4094 VLANs. Each 40GE port supports a maximum of
4094 VLANs. The VLAN IDs are integers ranging from 1 to 4094.

MZ710 NIC
User Guide 2 Features
The MZ710 does not tag or untag packets, but transparently transmits them. VLAN IDs are
specified by the operating system (OS) on an E9000 compute node.
SR-IOV
The MZ710 supports the SR-IOV feature. The NIC supports a maximum of 126 VFs, and
each physical 40GE port on the NIC supports a maximum of 63 VFs.
The VFs derived from each physical function (PF) can be assigned to virtual machines
(VMs). In this way, the mapping between VFs and VMs is set up.
PXE
The 40GE ports on the MZ710 support the Preboot Execution Environment (PXE) feature.
PXE is used for remote boot over an Ethernet or IP network. It enables users to remotely
connect to the PXE server to load OSs.
RoCE
The MZ710 supports the RoCE feature. This feature uses the Remote Direct Memory Access
(RDMA) technology to reduce the packet processing and forwarding latency of the NIC, to
reduce the CPU usage, and to implement low-latency data transmission over the data center
network. With the RoCE feature, the end-to-end read and write delay of the NIC can reach 4
us when the packet length is 128 bytes. The MZ710 supports 16M I/O channels (equivalent to
IB QPs), and provides priority-based scheduling and flow control to support low-latency,
high-bandwidth network transmission. The MZ710 supports OpenFabrics Enterprise
Distribution for Linux (OFED for Linux) and Mellanox OFED for Windows (WinOF).
VxLAN and NVGRE

The MZ710 supports the VxLAN and NVGRE network virtualization overlay technologies.
VxLAN is put forwarded by VMware, and NVGRE is put forwarded by Microsoft. VxLAN
and NVGRE encapsulate packets on the layer-2 data center network into layer-3 network
packets for transmission over the layer-3 network. In this way, the layer-3 network provides
transmission tunnels and routes for the isolated layer-2 data center network. VxLAN and
NVGRE support deployment of the data center network across the IP network, and support
virtual machine (VM) deployment and migration across the IP network for virtualization
applications.
VxLAN and NVGRE add special packet headers (identifiers) to layer-2 Ethernet packets to
identify packet tenants (hosts). The MZ710 supports hardware-based offload of VxLAN and
NVGRE packet headers to reduce CPU usage and packet processing latency.
