Sun 10-Gigabit Ethernet PCI-X Adapter Installation and User’s Guide • December 2005

In this example:

■

The first part within the double quotes specifies the hardware node name in
the device tree.

■

The number not enclosed in quotes is the instance number (shown in bold
italics).

■

The last part in double quotes is the driver name.

■

In the hardware node name, the last component after the last

/

character and

before the

@

character is the device name.

■

The path name before the last component is the parent name.

■

The number after the final

@

character within quotes is the unit-address.

To identify a PCI device unambiguously in the

ixge.conf

file, use the name, parent

name, and the unit-address for the device. Refer to the

pci

(4) man page for more

information about the PCI device specification.

2. Set the parameters for the above devices in the

/platform/sun4u/kernel/drv/ixge.conf

file.

In the following example, the

accept-jumbo

parameter is set to enable jumbo

frames for all Sun 10-Gigabit Ethernet devices. See the

driver.conf(4)

man page

for more information.

In the following example, the

accept-jumbo

parameter is set to enable jumbo

frames is set for a single instance of the Sun 10-Gigabit Ethernet device.

In this example:

■

parent

=

"/pci@8,600000"

■

unit-address

=

"0"

Note –

If you omit the

name=

,

parent=

, and

unit-address=

definitions, the

settings become global to all Sun 10-Gigabit Ethernet instances.

3. Save the

ixge.conf

file.

accept-jumbo=1;

name="pci8086,1048.108e.7036" parent="pci@8,600000" unit-address=

"0" accept-jumbo=1;
