Intel NIC Family Version 18.5.0 Drivers for Windows 64-bit Operating Systems

Known Issues
- The 'jumbo packet' option is not supported on Windows 2012 R2 and 2016 on Intel(R) X710/XL710/XXV710 devices. If the 'jumbo packet' option is needed, it is available with Intel NIC Family Version 18.3.0 Drivers for Windows 64-bit Operating Systems.
- Creating VLAN with IEEE 802.3ad teaming on Microsoft Windows 2012 R2 using Intel(R) PROSet software with Intel(R) 25G XXV710 adapters is not supported
- With NPAR enabled on Intel(R) X710/XXV710 devices, all partitions will lose the connection for 2-3 seconds while the root partition (the 1st partition of the physical port) is getting initialized.
- The QoS performance for iSCSI targets will not match the QoS policy after the iSCSI QoS filter is created in Windows 2012 and 2016 on Intel(R) X710/XL710/XXV710 devices when NPAR is enabled.
Workaround: Restart IntelDCB and iSCSIDCB Services or reboot the system
- When Microsoft Hot Fix KB2883200 is not installed on Windows Server 2012 R2, an inaccurately worded error message appears if the "Intel(R) Ethernet Setup Driver for FCoE" was installed in the operating system prior to running the "Dell EMC Update Package to install Intel NIC Drivers on Windows 64-bit Operating Systems". The error message says "An adapter is either configured to boot from an FCoE drive or a paging file is located on an FCoE drive" even when no adapters are configured to connect to an FCoE drive.
Workaround: Please install Microsoft Hot Fix KB2883200 and run the Dell EMC Update Package again.
- Microsoft LBFO teaming may fail to start with one or more team's NIC member(s) in "Faulted: Not found" state after a system reboot on Microsoft* Windows* Server 2012 R2 when the FCoE driver is installed from Intel NIC Family Version driver package 18.0.0 or newer.
Workaround: Disable and enable the faulting NIC team member(s) from "Network Connections".
- The driver link setting for Intel(R) 25GbE XXV710 Mezz adapter should be limited to auto negotiation but other link speeds are available for being set.
Workaround: Only use auto negotiation on the Intel(R) 25GbE XXV710 Mezz adapter.
