To list all the parameters supported by the

ixge

driver, type

See

TABLE 3-1

through

TABLE 3-6

for parameter descriptions.

Note –

By default, autonegotiation is set to

off

. This adapter operates only at full-

duplex.

Setting Parameters Using the

ixge.conf

File

Specify the driver parameter properties for each device by creating a

ixge.conf

file

in the

/platform/sun4u/kernel/drv

directory. Use a

ixge.conf

file when you

need to set a particular parameter for a device in the system. The parameters you
can set are the read and write parameters listed in “10-Gigabit Ethernet Driver
Parameter Values and Definitions” on page 20.

Note –

Configuring the parameters by putting

ndd

commands in

rcX.d

scripts is

not supported.

The man pages for

prtconf

(1M) and

driver.conf

(4) include additional details.

The next procedure shows an example of setting parameters in a

ixge.conf

file.
