Intel X710DA2G2P5 X710-DA2 Dual-Port 10GbE SFP+ Adapter

Dual-Port 10GbE Connectivity for Agile Data Centers

The Intel Ethernet Converged Network Adapter X710-DA2 is a dual-port 10GbE SFP+ adapter designed for server, cloud, enterprise IT, and network virtualization environments. Built around the Intel Ethernet Controller X710-BM2, the adapter uses a PCI Express 3.0 x8 host interface and supports both optical transceivers and SFP+ Direct Attach Copper media.

The X710 platform combines high-speed Ethernet connectivity with hardware-assisted packet processing and virtualization features. Intel Ethernet Flow Director provides hardware-based traffic steering, while Dynamic Device Personalization and DPDK support help improve packet processing efficiency for cloud and Network Functions Virtualization workloads. Network virtualization offloads include VXLAN, GENEVE, NVGRE, MPLS, and VXLAN-GPE with Network Service Headers.

Key Benefits and Features

• Dual-Port 10GbE: Two SFP+ ports support high-bandwidth server and data center connectivity
• Flexible Media Compatibility: Supports 10GBASE-SR and 10GBASE-LR optical transceivers alongside SFP+ Direct Attach Copper media
• Advanced Virtualization: SR-IOV supports up to 128 virtual functions per device, with 64 virtual functions per port, alongside Next-Generation VMDq for up to 256 VMs
• Network Overlay Offloads: Preserves application throughput in virtualized environments with hardware offloads for VXLAN, GENEVE, NVGRE, MPLS, and VXLAN-GPE with NSH
• Intelligent Traffic Processing: Features Intel Ethernet Flow Director, Dynamic Device Personalization, DPDK optimization, and TCP/IP checksum offloads
