Mellanox MCX341A-XCQN Network Card Firmware 2.42.5000 Description

New Features:

- Packet Time-stamping: Added support for new TLV: CX3_GLOBAL_CONF to enable/disable timestamp on incoming packets through mlxconfig configuration.
- MAC Configuration: Added support for user MAC configuration.
- mstdump: Added support for automatically collecting mstdump before driver reset.
- IRISC stuck watchdog: Added a mechanism to detect DEAD_IRISC (plastic) from TPT (iron) and raise an assert.
- Debug ability: Improved the debug ability for command timeout cases
- MTU size: Added a new field to "set port" command which notifies the firmware what is the user_mtu size

Bug Fixes:

- PortRcvPkts counter RM#1009607: Fixed an issue which prevented the PortRcvPkts counter from being cleared after resetting it.
- FLR, System Time Out, VFs RM#999432: Fixed an issue which caused a system Time Out on the configuration cycle of the VFs when more than 10 Virtual Functions performed FLR and the completion Time Out value was configured to a range of less than 16 msec.
- mlxfwtop RM#1034523: Fixed an issue that caused the server to hang and result in NMI when running “mlxfwtop –d mt4103_pci_cr0” while restarting the driver in parallel (from a different thread). In this case, the downstream bridge over the device reported completion timeout error.
- Flow steering, BMC RM#659925: Fixed an issue in flow_steering where BMC could not receive a ping over IPV6 after running bmc_reboot.
- RX packet RM#825412: Fixed an issue while closing the HCA, where RX packet caused bad access to resources that did not exist, and consequently caused the QPCGW or the irisc to get stuck.
- masterSMLID, LID RM#1033071: Fixed an issue where the masterSMLID and the LID was either 0 or 0xFFFF when the port was neither active nor armed.
- ibdump RM#1009736: Fixed an issue that prevented ibdump from capturing all MADs packets.
- Link Down RM#1000626: Fixed an issue that prevented the link to go up after reboot.
- PCIe RM#954259: Fixed a rare issue that cause the PCIe configuration cycle that arrived during the time of sw_reset to generate 2 completions.
- Link Speed Enabled 56GbE on ConnectX-3 Pro adapter card OPN MCX314A-BCCT
- NC-SI RM#908959: Fixed an issue that caused NC-SI not to work when adding the disable_static_steering_ini field in the ini file, due to memory allocation issue for this field in the scratchpad.

About Network Adapter Drivers:

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.
