IBM 00E2872 Overview

The IBM 00E2872 (Feature Code 5899) is a PCIe Generation 2.0 x4 short form-factor adapter that provides four highly reliable, wire-speed Gigabit Ethernet (1GbE) ports.

Based on the energy-efficient Broadcom BCM5719 controller chipset, this adapter is engineered specifically to deliver high-density network connectivity for enterprise IBM Power Systems deployments. It uses standard copper twisted-pair cabling and features RJ45 interfaces that support auto-negotiation, allowing backward compatibility with 100 Mbps and 10 Mbps legacy networks.

Key Features & Protocol Support

  • Four Independent Ports: Dramatically increases server I/O density. Ideal for port bundling, link aggregation (EtherChannel / LACP), or segregating traffic into multiple distinct subnets.

  • Virtualization Optimization: Natively supports Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) features and Virtual Machine Device Queues (VMDq) when paired with compatible system firmware, slashing host processor overhead.

  • Advanced Hardware Offloads:

    • TCP, UDP, and IP checksum offloading

    • Large Send Offload (LSO) and TCP Segmentation Offload (TSO)

    • Receive Side Scaling (RSS)

  • Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE): Complies with the IEEE 802.3az standard, reducing power draw by dynamic scale-down during periods of low link utilization.

  • Jumbo Frames: Supports jumbo frames up to 9 KB to minimize packet processing overhead for large data transfers.
