IBM Redbooks Product Guide

The IBM Flex System™ CN4054 10Gb Virtual Fabric Adapter is a 4-port 10Gb converged network adapter

(CNA) for Intel processor-based compute nodes that can scale to up to 16 virtual ports and that supports

Ethernet, iSCSI, and FCoE. The adapter supports up to eight virtual NIC (vNIC) devices, where each

physical 10 GbE port can be divided into four virtual ports with flexible bandwidth allocation. The CN4054

Virtual Fabric Adapter Upgrade adds FCoE and iSCSI hardware initiator functionality.

The IBM Flex System EN4054 4-port 10Gb Ethernet Adapter is based on similar hardware but simply

operates as a straight 4-port 10 GbE adapter. The EN4054 it is supported by POWER7 processor-based

compute nodes. Figure 1 shows the adapters (they have the same physical appearance).

Did you know?

This CN4054 is based on industry-standard PCIe architecture and offers the flexibility to operate as a

Virtual NIC Fabric Adapter or as a quad-port 10Gb or 1Gb Ethernet device. Because this adapter

supports up to 16 virtual NICs on a single quad-port Ethernet adapter, you see benefits in cost,

power/cooling, and data center footprint by deploying less hardware. Compute nodes like the x240

support up to two of these adapters for a total of 32 virtual NICs per system.
