NAME¶
hfa —
FORE Systems 200-Series ATM
adapter driver
SYNOPSIS¶
device hfa
DESCRIPTION¶
The
hfa driver provides support for the FORE Systems ATM
series 200 adapters. This driver will support up to eight devices in a system
at any given time. The
hfa driver follows the AALI or FORE
ATM Adaptation Layer Interface and as such will adhere to its specifications.
The supported AALs include:
- FORE AAL 0: The cell service;
- FORE AAL 4: Version three and four of AAL;
- FORE AAL 5: Version five of AAL.
The
hfa driver supports traffic shaping for cards with
firmware revisions of 4.X.X, see
fore_dnld(8). The following
sysctls are recognized by the driver and may be used to enable or disable
traffic shaping:
- hw.atm.hfaN.shape
(0)
- Disable shaping on card number
N.
- hw.atm.hfaN.shape
(1)
- Set one VCI to be traffic shaped on device
N. This will shape the first CBR VCI which is
opened.
- hw.atm.hfaN.shape
(2)
- Attempt to shape all VCIs on device
N.
The firmware should be loaded before using this driver, this can be an easy task
if the
fore_dnld(8) utility is used. If the
/etc/rc.d/atm1 file has been properly configured then the
firmware update should be automatic.
HARDWARE¶
The
hfa driver supports the following adapters:
- FORE Systems PCA-200E
ATM
- FORE Systems 200S
- FORE Systems 200
