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;
