Dual-port 10 Gb/s SFP+ server NIC

The Broadcom BCM957412A4120AC P210P is a PCIe 3.0 x8 network card that delivers two 10 Gb/s SFP+ ports for enterprise and cloud-scale servers. It targets administrators building high-density virtualisation, storage disaggregation or machine-learning clusters who need line-rate, full-duplex throughput on each port.

Verify PCIe 3.0 x8 slot

Confirm the host server has a free PCIe 3.0 x8 slot with adequate bracket clearance and that the chosen SFP+ transceivers and cables match the required reach and fibre type. The card supports 10 Gb/s and 1 Gb/s link speeds, so ensure switch ports are configured accordingly before installation.

BroadSAFE silicon root of trust

The on-board BroadSAFE technology provides a silicon root of trust for platform security, while the TruFlow engine accelerates vSwitch processing and increases VM density. NIC partitioning creates up to 16 physical functions, and TruManage simplifies server manageability for data-centre deployments.

Questions about this item

Does the card ship with SFP+ transceivers or must they be purchased separately?

The P210P provides two SFP+ cages; transceivers and cables are not included and must be sourced to match the fibre or copper link required.

The model name includes P210P — what does that indicate about port count and speed?

P210P denotes a dual-port 10 GbE NIC; each SFP+ port operates at 10 Gb/s or 1 Gb/s and the card uses a PCIe 3.0 x8 host interface.

What does the 10 Gb/s headline rate mean for actual throughput in a server?

Line-rate full-duplex throughput is supported on both ports simultaneously, with hardware offloads such as TruFlow and RoCE reducing CPU load for virtualisation and storage traffic.
