Download Download NVIDIA Mellanox MCX4131A-GCAT PCIe Card Firmware 14.29.1016 for OS Independent Free

Important notes:

-Security reinforcement enhancement: This version contains important reliability improvements and security reinforcement enhancements. Mellanox recommends upgrading your device firmware to this version to improve the device’s firmware security and reliability.
-SR-IOV-Virtual function (VF) per port-The maximum virtual function (VF) per port is 127.

Changes and new features:

-Added a new counter for each vPort to count the number of packets that reached the Ethernet RQ but could not fit into the WQE due to the large size. In addition, we have added an option to control whether such packets will cause “CQE with Error” or “CQE_MOCK”.
-Added support for cq_overrun counter. The counter indicates the number of times the CQ entered an error state due to an overflow when the device tried to send the CQE to the complete CQ buffer.
—— [Beta] Enable the function that allows the virtual function to send pause frame packets.
-Enable 10/25GbE and 3rd party auto-sensing when using 10/25GbE optical cable.
-Hardware steering dump output for debugging and troubleshooting.

Bug fix:

-Change the default value of DCQCN’s NP parameter min_time_between_cnps to 4 on all devices to support la
-Fixed the problem of packet loss due to header size issue and/or check failure. This issue is caused by a Linux issue that causes the VF to set the wrong header size value in the wqe_inline_header_mode input.
-When NVCONFIG enables MKEY_BY_NAME and a large number of VFs are configured, VM restart (VF/PF FLR) will take longer than when MKEY_BY_NAME is disabled.
-In rare cases, fatal errors related to PCI transport layer errors may be reported during FLR.
-Fixed an issue that caused the device to enter a dead IRISC because one of the firmware semaphores could not be released when the speed change or port status change was triggered.

About the network adapter driver:

After connecting, the operating system usually installs a universal driver to help the computer recognize the newly connected device.

However, if you want to take advantage of all the available functions of the network adapter, you must apply the appropriate software. This task also allows the computer to correctly identify all device characteristics, such as manufacturer, chipset, technology, etc.

Updating the adapter’s driver and utility version may improve overall performance and stability, increase transmission speed, fix different compatibility issues and some network-related errors, and bring various other changes.

To install this version, simply obtain the package, unzip it if necessary, run the installer, and follow the instructions displayed on the screen. When you are done, don’t forget to perform a system restart and reconnect the network adapter to ensure that all changes take effect correctly.

Without further ado, if you plan to apply this version, please click the download button and install the package. In addition, please visit our website as often as possible so as not to miss any new versions.
