Setting Parameters Using The Ge.conf File; Setting Driver Parameters Using A Ge.conf File - Sun Microsystems GigabitEthernet/S 2.0 Installation And User Manual

To Set Forced Mode
1. Select the following parameters: adv_1000fdx_cap, adv_1000hdx_cap,
adv_pauseTX and adv_pauseRX, and set those values according to the user's
manual that shipped with your link partner device (i.e., switch). See
parameter values.
2. Set adv_1000autoneg_cap to 0.

Setting Parameters Using the ge.conf File

You can also specify the properties described in the section, on a per-device basis by
creating a ge.conf file in the /kernel/drv directory. Use a ge.conf file when
you need to set a particular parameter for a device in the system. The parameters
you set are read and write parameters that are listed in "Driver Parameter Values
and Definitions" on page 14.
The man pages for prtconf (1M) and driver.conf (4) include additional details.

Setting Driver Parameters Using a ge.conf File

Obtain the hardware path names for the ge devices in the device tree.
Typically the path names and the associated instance numbers will be present in the
/etc/path_to_inst file.
# grep ge /etc/path_to_inst
"/sbus@b,0/network@2,100000" 0 "ge"
In the above lines:
In the device path 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.
To identify an SBus device unambiguously in the ge.conf file, use the name and
parent name of the device. Refer to the sbus(4) man page for more information
about the SBus device specification.
In the previous example:
Name = SUNW,sbus-gem
24 Sun GigabitEthernet/S 2.0 Adapter Installation and User's Guide • September 1998
The first part within the double quotes specifies the hardware node name in
the device tree.
The second number is the instance number.
The last part in double quotes is the driver name.
