Greetings Red Hat Partners, We are pleased to announce official support of 50Gb/s and 100Gb/s Ethernet in Red Hat Enterprise Linux hardware certification for both RHEL 6.x and RHEL 7.x. The latest release of the Red Hat Certification Test Suite will move the tests for 50 and 100 gigabit Ethernet out of preview and into a fully-supported state.
Full certification of 50Gb/s and 100Gb/s capable ethernet components may be achieved today. A transition period is being provided for systems with optional 50Gb/s and 100Gb/s Ethernet adapters where testing of these features will not be required until September 9th 2016. During this period systems with untested adapters will include a knowledge base entry for customer clarity. Any knowledgebase entries associated to system certifications may later be updated by a supplemental certification covering the missing testing for these features. The 50GigEthernet and 100GigEthernet tests are now part of the regular test package, but they will display a 'preview' label when viewed in redhat-certification WebUI until the next update of the redhat-certification-hardware test suite package. The policy guide will also be updated to include these new features and tests in the Ethernet adapter requirements. Red Hat values your ongoing participation in Red Hat software development, testing, and certification efforts. Thank you for your continued partnership. If you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact your Partner Manager or Engineering Account Manager.
