Establishing Adaptive Links with Marvell SmartAN™ Technology

2021-08-11
●Executive Summary
■The number of speeds supported over network connections, and their associated cable types—optics and Direct Attached Copper (DAC) cables—has increased dramatically with the fast proliferation of Ethernet standards in recent years. Instead of having just 1Gb SFP and 10Gb SFP+ connections, now we have 25Gb SFP28 single connections, 40Gb QSFP+ single connections, 50Gb QSFP28 single/dual connections, 100Gb QSFP28 single connections, 4x10Gb QSFP+ fanout connections, and 4x25Gb QSFP28 fanout connections.
■In addition, a link may have no Forward Error Correction (FEC) or Firecode (FC) FEC or Reed Solomon (RS) FEC enabled.
■This increases the complexity when trying to establish a simple link between an adapter port and its associated switch port, which usually requires cooperation between both server and network administrators.
■With Marvell SmartAN™, the administrators don’t have to change the switch (port) settings or the server (adapter port) settings since it seeks the best available connection setting, based on the cable and switch configuration.
■Marvell SmartAN technology is available on the Marvell FastLinQ® 41000 Series of 10/25GbE and 45000 Series 40GbE/50GbE/100GbE Adapters.
●Key Benefits
■Simplifies establishing a link to a switch
■Streamlines deployment and management
■Delivers increased interoperability
