Compatibility Notes

In addition, note the following limitations for Intel Ethernet devices and connections.

Intel Ethernet 800 Series:

  • Devices based on the Intel Ethernet Controller E810-C have an expected total throughput for the entire device of 100Gbps in each direction if one 100G cable is connected or if two 100G cables are connected.

  • Devices based on the Intel Ethernet 800 Series do not support RDMA when operating in multiport mode with more than 4 ports.

Intel Ethernet 700 Series:

  • Devices based on the Intel Ethernet Controller XL710 (4x10Gbps, 1x40Gbps, and 2x40Gbps) have an expected total throughput for the entire device of 40Gbps in each direction.

  • The first port of Intel Ethernet 700 Series adapters will display the correct branding string. All other ports on the same device will display a generic branding string.

  • In Microsoft Windows Server 2025, all devices based on the Intel Ethernet 710 Series are reported with generic, 2-part device IDs and branding strings, and will be configured as generic devices with no custom default settings. This change resolves an issue seen when deploying network intent roles using the Network ATC scripts in Windows Server 2025 and Azure Stack HCI.

  • For an Intel Ethernet 700 Series adapter to reach its full potential, you must install it in a PCIe Gen3 x8 slot. Installing it in a shorter slot, or a Gen2 or Gen1 slot, will limit the throughput of the adapter.

  • Devices based on the Intel Ethernet Controller X722 do not support the following features:

Intel Ethernet 500 Series:

  • Devices based on the Intel Ethernet Connection X552 and Intel Ethernet Connection X553 do not support the following features:

    • Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE)

    • Intel PROSet for Windows Device Manager

    • Intel ANS teams or VLANs (LBFO is supported)

    • Data Center Bridging (DCB)

    • IPSec Offloading

    • MACSec Offloading

  • In addition, SFP+ devices based on the Intel Ethernet Connection X552 and Intel Ethernet Connection X553 do not support the following features:

    • Speed and duplex auto-negotiation

    • Wake on LAN

    • 1000BASE-T SFP Modules
