Sun Microsystems 805-1797-10 - Manual (Page 48)

"/pci@1f,2000/pci@2/SUNW,qfe@1,1" 5 "qfe"
"/pci@1f,2000/pci@2/SUNW,qfe@2,1" 6 "qfe"
"/pci@1f,2000/pci@2/SUNW,qfe@3,1" 7 "qfe"
In the example above, the four SUNW,qfe@ x ,1 instances are from a Sun Quad
FastEthernet PCI adapter installed in slot 2. For clarity, the instance numbers are
bold.
2. Use the instance number to select the device.
# ndd -set /dev/qfe instance instance#
The device remains selected until you change the selection.
Non-Interactive and Interactive Modes
You can use the ndd utility in two modes:
4 Non-interactive
4 Interactive
In non-interactive mode, you invoke the utility to execute a specific command. Once
the command is executed, you exit the utility. In interactive mode, you can use the
utility to get or set more than one parameter value. (Refer to the
ndd (1M) man page
for more information.)
Using the ndd Utility in Non-Interactive Mode
This section describes how to modify and to display parameter values.
1. To modify a parameter value, use the -set option.
If you invoke the ndd utility with the -set option, the utility passes value, which
must be specified down to the named /dev/qfe driver instance, and assigns it to
the parameter:
# ndd -set /dev/qfe parameter value
1. To display the value of a parameter, specify the parameter name (and omit the
value).
When you omit the -set option, a query operation is assumed and the utility
queries the named driver instance, retrieves the value associated with the
specified parameter, and prints it:
# ndd /dev/qfe parameter
