Detailed Product Description
NVIDIA ConnectX-6 Lx 25/50G Ethernet SmartNIC MCX623106AN-CDAT
Accelerate your enterprise or cloud data center with the NVIDIA® ConnectX®-6 Lx Ethernet smart network interface card. Delivering line-rate 25/50GbE connectivity, advanced RoCE (RDMA over Converged Ethernet), SDN acceleration via ASAP², and inline IPsec encryption. The MCX623106AN-CDAT offers secure boot, hardware root-of-trust, and OCP 3.0 form factor readiness for modern scalable infrastructure.
Product Overview
The NVIDIA ConnectX-6 Lx series (model MCX623106AN-CDAT) is engineered to meet the demands of modern enterprise and cloud data centers. It supports up to two ports of 10/25GbE or a single 50GbE port, with PCIe Gen 4.0 x8 host interface. This SmartNIC offloads CPU-intensive networking tasks, accelerates software-defined networking (SDN) data planes, and enhances security with inline crypto acceleration. With support for overlay tunnels (VXLAN, GENEVE, NVGRE) and advanced connection tracking, it reduces total cost of ownership while boosting east-west traffic performance.
Key Features
  • Line-rate performance: 75 million packets per second (Mpps), up to 50Gb/s total bandwidth
  • Zero-Touch RoCE (ZTR): Simplified RDMA deployment without PFC/ECN tuning, resilient and scalable
  • ASAP² acceleration: Accelerated Switch and Packet Processing for SDN & VNF offloads (OVS, VXLAN, MPLS, GTP)
  • Inline IPsec cryptography: AES-XTS 256/512-bit encryption/decryption, IPsec over RoCE support
  • Hardware root-of-trust (RoT): Secure boot, cryptographic firmware update, device-unique key and cloning protection
  • Stateful connection tracking: Layer 4 firewall offload, flow mirroring, sampling, and hierarchical QoS
  • Virtualization ready: SR-IOV, VirtIO acceleration, overlay offloads, programmable flexible parser
  • Remote boot options: PXE, iSCSI, UEFI for x86 and Arm servers
Advanced Technology Integration
NVIDIA ASAP² (Accelerated Switch and Packet Processing)
Offloads the entire SDN data plane to the SmartNIC, dramatically reducing CPU overhead in virtualized or containerized clouds. Supports VXLAN, GENEVE, NVGRE, plus MPLS and GTP for telecom NFV transitions.
Industry-leading RoCE with Zero-Touch RoCE (ZTR)
Enables out-of-the-box RDMA deployment on existing Ethernet fabrics without requiring Priority Flow Control (PFC) or Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) configuration. This ensures resilience and efficient lossless networking at scale.
Inline Security Acceleration
IPsec encryption/decryption offload at line rate, plus stateful firewall connection tracking. Hardware root-of-trust guarantees secure firmware chain from boot to update, critical for supply chain protection.
Typical Deployments & Use Cases
  • Enterprise Data Centers: High-density virtualization, SDN fabric acceleration, low-latency storage (NVMe over Fabric via RoCE)
  • Cloud & Hyperscale Infrastructure: OpenStack, VxLAN offloads, container networking (VirtIO acceleration)
  • Telecom / NFV / Edge: GTP, MPLS offload enabling vEPC, vRAN and 5G user plane function (UPF)
  • HPC & AI Clusters: RoCE-based MPI collective communications, distributed training workloads
  • Secure Government & Finance: Inline IPsec and hardware RoT ensure data integrity and compliance
Platform & Software Compatibility
ConnectX-6 Lx works with leading server platforms, Linux distributions, Windows Server, and virtualization environments. Support for standard management interfaces including NC-SI, MCTP, PLDM for firmware updates and monitoring.
