14 14 clonable, GLD-based STREAMS driver supporting the Data Link Provider
15 15 Interface, dlpi(7P), on Intel 10-Gigabit PCI Express Ethernet
16 16 controllers.
17 17
18 18
19 19 The ixgbe driver functions include controller initialization, frame
20 20 transmit and receive, promiscuous and multicast support, and error
21 21 recovery and reporting.
22 22
23 23
24 + The ixgbe driver supports the following Intel 10-Gigabit PCI Express
25 + Ethernet controllers:
26 +
27 + o Intel Ethernet Controller 82598EB Family
28 +
29 + o Intel Ethernet Controller 82599EB (X520) Family
30 +
31 + o Intel Ethernet Controller X540 Family
32 +
33 + o Intel Ethernet Controller X550 Family
34 +
24 35 The ixgbe driver and hardware support auto-negotiation, a protocol
25 36 specified by the IEEE 802.3ae specification.
26 37
27 38 APPLICATION PROGRAMMING INTERFACE
28 39 The cloning character-special device, /dev/ixgbe, is used to access all
29 - Intel 10 -Gigabit PCI Express Ethernet devices installed within the
40 + Intel 10-Gigabit PCI Express Ethernet devices installed within the
30 41 system.
31 42
32 43
33 44 The ixgbe driver is managed by the dladm(1M) command line utility,
34 45 which allows VLANs to be defined on top of ixgbe instances and for
35 46 ixgbe instances to be aggregated. See dladm(1M) for more details.
36 47
37 48
38 49 You must send an explicit DL_ATTACH_REQ message to associate the opened
39 50 stream with a particular device (PPA). The PPA ID is interpreted as an
40 51 unsigned integer data type and indicates the corresponding device
41 52 instance (unit) number. The driver returns an error (DL_ERROR_ACK) if
42 53 the PPA field value does not correspond to a valid device instance
43 54 number for the system. The device is initialized on first attach and
44 55 de-initialized (stopped) at last detach.
45 56
46 57
47 58 The values returned by the driver in the DL_INFO_ACK primitive in
48 59 response to your DL_INFO_REQ are:
49 60
50 - o Maximum SDU is 16366.
61 + o Maximum SDU for Intel 82598EB is 16366.
51 62
63 + o Maximum SDU for Intel 82599EB, X540 and X550 is 15500.
64 +
52 65 o Minimum SDU is 0.
53 66
54 67 o DLSAP address length is 8.
55 68
56 69 o MAC type is DL_ETHER.
57 70
58 71 o SAP (Service Access Point) length value is -2, meaning the
59 72 physical address component is followed immediately by a
60 73 2-byte SAP component within the DLSAP address.
61 74
62 75 o Broadcast address value is the Ethernet/IEEE broadcast
63 76 address (FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF).
64 77
65 78 Once in the DL_ATTACHED state, you must send a DL_BIND_REQ
66 79 to associate a particular SAP with the stream.
67 80
68 81 CONFIGURATION
69 82 By default, the ixgbe driver performs auto-negotiation to select the
70 83 link speed and mode. Link speed and mode can only be 10000 Mbps full-
71 84 duplex for fiber, and only 10000, 1000, or 100 Mbps full-duplex for
72 85 copper. See the IEEE802.3 standard for more information.
