7 7 .SH NAME
8 8 ixgbe \- Intel 10Gb PCI Express NIC Driver
9 9 .SH SYNOPSIS

15 15 .SH DESCRIPTION
16 16 .sp
17 17 .LP
18 18 The \fBixgbe\fR 10 Gigabit Ethernet driver is a multi-threaded, loadable,
19 19 clonable, GLD-based STREAMS driver supporting the Data Link Provider Interface,
20 20 \fBdlpi\fR(7P), on Intel 10-Gigabit PCI Express Ethernet controllers.
21 21 .sp
22 22 .LP
23 23 The \fBixgbe\fR driver functions include controller initialization, frame
24 24 transmit and receive, promiscuous and multicast support, and error recovery and
25 25 reporting.
26 26 .sp
27 27 .LP
28 28 The \fBixgbe\fR driver and hardware support auto-negotiation, a protocol
29 29 specified by the \fIIEEE 802.3ae\fR specification.
30 30 .SH APPLICATION PROGRAMMING INTERFACE
31 31 .sp
32 32 .LP
33 33 The cloning character-special device, \fB/dev/ixgbe\fR, is used to access all
34 34 Intel 10 -Gigabit PCI Express Ethernet devices installed within the system.
35 35 .sp
36 36 .LP
37 37 The \fBixgbe\fR driver is managed by the \fBdladm\fR(1M) command line utility,
38 38 which allows VLANs to be defined on top of \fBixgbe\fR instances and for
39 39 \fBixgbe\fR instances to be aggregated. See \fBdladm\fR(1M) for more details.
40 40 .sp
41 41 .LP
42 42 You must send an explicit DL_ATTACH_REQ message to associate the opened stream
43 43 with a particular device (PPA). The PPA ID is interpreted as an unsigned
44 44 integer data type and indicates the corresponding device instance (unit)
45 45 number. The driver returns an error (DL_ERROR_ACK) if the PPA field value does
46 46 not correspond to a valid device instance number for the system. The device is
47 47 initialized on first attach and de-initialized (stopped) at last detach.
48 48 .sp
49 49 .LP
50 50 The values returned by the driver in the DL_INFO_ACK primitive in response to
51 51 your DL_INFO_REQ are:
52 52 .RS +4

56 56 Maximum SDU is 16366.

80 80 SAP (Service Access Point) length value is -2, meaning the physical address
81 81 component is followed immediately by a 2-byte SAP component within the DLSAP
82 82 address.

88 88 Broadcast address value is the Ethernet/IEEE broadcast address
89 89 (FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF).

91 91 Once in the DL_ATTACHED state, you must send a DL_BIND_REQ to associate a
92 92 particular SAP with the stream.

95 95 .sp
96 96 .LP
97 97 By default, the \fBixgbe\fR driver performs auto-negotiation to select the link
98 -speed and mode. Link speed and mode can only be 10000 Mbps full-duplex. See the
98 +speed and mode. Link speed and mode can only be 10000 Mbps full-duplex for fiber, and only 10000, 1000, or 100 Mbps full-duplex for copper. See the
99 99 \fIIEEE802.3\fR standard for more information.
