Intel® Server Board S2600CP Functional Architecture Intel ® Server Board S2600CP and Server System P4000CP TPS The baseboard NIC(s) are connected to a single Integrated BMC RMII/RGMII port that is configured for RMII operation. The NC-SI protocol is used for this connection and provides a 100 Mb/s full-duplex multi-drop interface which allows multiple NICs to be connected to the Integrated BMC. The physical layer is based upon RMII, however RMII is a point-to-point bus whereas NC-SI allows 1 master and up to 4 slaves. The logical layer (configuration commands) is incompatible with RMII. Multi-port baseboard NICs on some products will provide support for a dedicated management channel than can be configured to be hidden from the host and only used by the Integrated BMC. This mode of operation is configured via a BIOS setup option. 4.5.4.2 Dedicated Management Channel An additional LAN channel dedicated to Integrated BMC usage and not available to host SW is supported via an optional add-in card. There is only a PHY device present on the add-in card. The Integrated BMC has a built-in MAC module that uses the RGMII interface to link with the card’s PHY. Therefore, for this dedicated management interface, the PHY and MAC are located in different devices. The PHY on the card connects to the Integrated BMC’s other RMII/RGMII interface (i.e. the one that is not connected to the baseboard NICs). This Integrated BMC port is configured for RGMII usage. In addition to the use of an add-in card for a dedicated management channel, on systems that support multiple Ethernet ports on the baseboard, the system BIOS provides a setup option to allow one of these baseboard ports to be dedicated to the Integrated BMC for manageability purposes. When this is enabled, that port is hidden from the OS. 4.5.4.3 Concurrent Server Management Use of Multiple Ethernet Controllers Provided the HW supports a management link between the Integrated BMC and a NIC port, the Integrated BMC FW supports concurrent OOB LAN management sessions for the combination - 1 on-board NIC and the optional dedicated add-in management NIC. All NIC ports must be on different subnets for the above concurrent usage models. MAC addresses are assigned for management NICs from a pool of up to 3 MAC addresses allocated specifically for manageability. The total number of MAC addresses in the pool is dependent on the product HW constraints (e.g. a board with 2 NIC ports available for manageability would have a MAC allocation pool of 2 addresses). Concurrent usage of two NIC baseboard ports requires either that both ports to be in the same network controller package or, for the case that there are two separate controller packages, the packages must support NC-SI HW arbitration. For these channels, support can be enabled for IPMI-over-LAN and DHCP. For security reasons, embedded LAN channels have the following default settings: 48 IP Address: Static All users disabled Intel Confidential Revision 0.8 Intel order number G26942-003

Intel ® Server Board S2600CP and Server System P4000CP TPS Intel® Server Board S2600CP Functional Architecture IPMI-enabled network interfaces may not be placed on the same subnet. This includes the Intel ® Dedicated Management NIC and either of the BMC’s embedded network interfaces. Host-BMC communication over the same physical LAN connection – also known as “loopback” – is not supported. This includes “ping” operations. 4.6 Network Interface The Intel ® Server Board S2600CP has a Intel ® Ethernet Controller I350 (“Powerville”) GbE Controller providing up to four 10/100/1000 Mb Ethernet ports. The controller is a fully integrated MAC/PHY in a single low power package that supports quad-port and dual-port Gb Ethernet designs. The device offers up to four fully integrated GbE media access control (MAC), physical layer (PHY) ports, and up to four SGMII/SerDes ports that can be connected to an external PHY. The controller supports PCI Express* PCIe v2.0 (5GT/s and 2.5GT/s). The controller enables four-port or two-port 1000BASE-T implementations using integrated PHY’s. The controller supports VMDq, SR-IOV, EEE, and DMA Coalescing. Each Ethernet port drives two LEDs located on each network interface connector. The LED at the right of the connector is the link/activity LED and indicates network connection when on, and transmit/receive activity when blinking. The LED at the left of the connector indicates link speed as defined in the following table. Table 14.
