—
Neterion X3100 10GbE Server/Storage adapter
driver
SYNOPSIS¶
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following line in your kernel
configuration file:
device vxge
Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following
line in
loader.conf(5):
DESCRIPTION¶
The
vxge
driver provides support for Neterion
X3100 adapters. The driver supports TCP Segmentation Offload (TSO/LSO), Large
Receive Offload (LRO), Jumbo Frames, Receive Traffic Hash (RTH), VLAN,
Promiscuous mode and Multi function mode.
The
vxge
driver supports the following
function modes:
SF1_VP17 - 1 function with
17 VPATHs
MF8_VP2 - 8 functions with
2 VPATHs per function
MF2_VP8 - 2 functions, 8
Paths/Function
MF4_VP4 - 4 Functions, 4
Paths/Function
MF8P_VP2 - 8 functions
with 2 VPATHs per function required for DirectIO
For general information and support, please visit the Neterion support page
http://www.neterion.com/support/support.html.
Support for Jumbo Frames is provided via the interface MTU setting. Selecting an
MTU larger than 1500 bytes with the
ifconfig(8)
utility configures the adapter to transmit and receive Jumbo Frames. X3100
adapters support Jumbo Frames up to 9600 bytes.
For Jumbo Frames, the driver will try to allocate physically contiguous buffers.
Failures to do so may degrade the performance. To resolve such problems,
please visit
http://www.neterion.com where
additional information and a kernel patch can be found.
For more information on configuring this device, see
ifconfig(8).
HARDWARE¶
The
vxge
driver supports Neterion X3100 10
