10-Gigabit Ethernet Device Driver
Parameters
The
ixge
device driver controls the Sun 10-Gigabit Ethernet PCI-X adapter. The
ixge
driver is attached to the UNIX
pci
name property
pci8086,1048
for the Sun
10-Gigabit Ethernet PCI-X adapter (
8086
is the vendor ID and
1048
is the PCI
device ID).
You can manually configure the
ixge
device driver parameters to customize each
Sun 10-Gigabit Ethernet adapter device in your system. This section provides an
overview of the capabilities of the 10-Gigabit Ethernet driver used in the adapter,
lists the available
ixge
device driver parameters, and describes how to configure
these parameters.
