Mellanox MCX4431A-GCAN rev. Bx PCI Card Firmware 14.17.2020 Description

Changes:

- [Beta] Added support for IP-in-IP and GENEVE network protocols encapsulated into IP frame (L2 tunneling). Encapsulation is suggested as a means to alter the normal IP routing for datagrams, by delivering them to an intermediate destination that would otherwise not be selected based on the (network part of the) IP Destination Address field in the original IP header.Note: For driver support, please see the Release Notes/User Manual of the relevant OS driver.
- Fixed an issue which caused system fail when enabled SR-IOV.
- Fixed the NC-SI “set” Flow Control so it could always report "unsupported command" when operating the smbus.
- Fixed ODP flow issues that caused occasional fatal error reporting and RX hanging.
- Fixed performance issues to improve Packet Pacing performance.
- Information is now received per channel port instead of the lowest port which received LLDP
- Changed the maximum TLV size per each TLV to 28B instead of 32B.
- Fixed an issue which added a header to the packet which already contained header and data.
- Enabled LLDP by default in the ini after adding the MCTP command.

About Network Adapter:

When connected, the operating system usually installs a generic driver that helps the computer to recognize the newly attached device.

However, proper software must be applied if you want to make use of all features that the network adapter has available. This task also allows computers to properly recognize all device characteristics such as manufacturer, chipset, technology, and others.

Updating the adapter’s drivers and utilities version might improve overall performance and stability, increase transfer speeds, fix different compatibility problems and several network-related errors, as well as bring various other changes.

To install this release, simply get the package, extract it if necessary, run the setup, and follow the instructions displayed on-screen. When done, don’t forget to perform a system restart and reconnect the network adapter to make sure that all changes take effect properly.

Without further ado, if you intend to apply this version, click the download button and install the package. Moreover, check with our website as often as possible so that you don’t miss a single new release.

  It is highly recommended to always use the most recent driver version available.

Try to set a system restore point before installing a device driver. This will help if you installed an incorrect or mismatched driver. Problems can arise when your hardware device is too old or not supported any longer.
