Broadcom CM5719-4P 4-Port GbE PCIe Network Adapter

The Broadcom CM5719-4P is a high-performance, four-port Gigabit Ethernet network adapter designed to provide reliable and fast connectivity for servers and workstations. Based on an advanced Broadcom controller, it offers a rich set of features to increase throughput and network efficiency.

High-performance network connectivity:

• Four Gigabit Ethernet ports: Equipped with four RJ-45 ports supporting 10/100/1000 Mbps speeds.
• PCI Express interface: Typically uses a PCIe x4 interface (also compatible with x8, x16 slots), providing high throughput to the system.
• Reliable Broadcom controller: Guarantees stable operation and wide compatibility.

Key features and technologies:

• CPU offload: Supports TCP/IP/UDP checksum offload, Large Send Offload (LSO), and Receive Side Scaling (RSS) to reduce CPU load.
• Teaming: Supports IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation and Load Balancing for increased throughput and redundancy.
• Virtualization Support: Features such as Virtual Machine Queues (VMQ) support can be enabled to optimize performance in virtual environments.
• Wake-on-LAN (WoL): Allows remote computer wake-up.
• PXE (Preboot Execution Environment): Supports remote operating system startup.
• VLAN Support: Supports VLAN tagging according to IEEE 802.1Q.
• Jumbo Frames (Jumbo Frames) Frames): Jumbo frame support to increase throughput and reduce CPU load when transferring large files.
• Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE): Complies with the IEEE 802.3az standard to reduce power consumption.

Applications and Compatibility:

• Ideal for server applications, virtualization, storage systems, and high-performance workstations requiring multiple network connections.
• Wide compatibility with popular operating systems such as Windows, Linux, VMware ESX/ESXi.
• Often shipped in a low-profile form factor with full-height bracket mounting.

The Broadcom CM5719-4P network adapter is a robust and efficient solution for demanding network environments, offering advanced features and reliable operation.
