Parameters¶
- Speed_A=i,j,...
- This parameter is used to set the speed capabilities of port A of an adapter card. It is only valid for Yukon copper adapters. Possible values are: 10, 100, 1000 or Auto whereas Auto is the default. Usually, the speed is negotiated between the two ports during link establishment. If this fails, a port can be forced to a specific setting with this parameter.
- Speed_B=i,j,...
- This parameter is used to set the speed capabilities of port B of an adapter card. It is only valid for Yukon copper adapters. Possible values are: 10, 100, 1000 or Auto whereas Auto is the default. Usually, the speed is negotiated between the two ports during link establishment. If this fails, a port can be forced to a specific setting with this parameter.
- AutoNeg_A=i,j,...
- Enables or disables the use of autonegotiation of port A of an adapter card. Possible values are: On, Off or Sense whereas On is the default. The Sense mode automatically detects whether the link partner supports auto-negotiation or not.
- AutoNeg_B=i,j,...
- Enables or disables the use of autonegotiation of port B of an adapter card. Possible values are: On, Off or Sense whereas On is the default. The Sense mode automatically detects whether the link partner supports auto-negotiation or not.
- DupCap_A=i,j,...
- This parameter indicates the duplex mode to be used for port A of an adapter card. Possible values are: Half, Full or Both whereas Both is the default. This parameter is only relevant if AutoNeg_A of port A is not set to Sense. If AutoNeg_A is set to On, all three values of DupCap_A ( Half, Full or Both) might be stated. If AutoNeg_A is set to Off, only DupCap_A values Full and Half are allowed. This DupCap_A parameter is useful if your link partner does not support all possible duplex combinations.
- DupCap_B=i,j,...
- This parameter indicates the duplex mode to be used for port B of an adapter card. Possible values are: Half, Full or Both whereas Both is the default. This parameter is only relevant if AutoNeg_B of port B is not set to Sense. If AutoNeg_B is set to On, all three values of DupCap_B ( Half, Full or Both) might be stated. If AutoNeg_B is set to Off, only DupCap_B values Full and Half are allowed. This DupCap_B parameter is useful if your link partner does not support all possible duplex combinations.
- FlowCtrl_A=i,j,...
- This parameter can be used to set the flow control
capabilities the port reports during auto-negotiation. Possible values
are: Sym, SymOrRem, LocSend or None whereas
SymOrRem is the default. The different modes have the following
meaning:
both link partners are allowed to send PAUSE frames
both or only remote partner are allowed to send PAUSE frames
only local link partner is allowed to send PAUSE frames
no link partner is allowed to send PAUSE frames
- FlowCtrl_B=i,j,...
- This parameter can be used to set the flow control
capabilities the port reports during auto-negotiation. Possible values
are: Sym, SymOrRem, LocSend or None whereas
SymOrRem is the default. The different modes have the following
meaning:
both link partners are allowed to send PAUSE frames
both or only remote partner are allowed to send PAUSE frames
only local link partner is allowed to send PAUSE frames
no link partner is allowed to send PAUSE frames
- Role_A=i,j,...
- This parameter is only valid for 1000Base-T adapter cards. For two 1000Base-T ports to communicate, one must take the role of the master (providing timing information), while the other must be the slave. Possible values are: Auto, Master or Slave whereas Auto is the default. Usually, the role of a port is negotiated between two ports during link establishment, but if that fails the port A of an adapter card can be forced to a specific setting with this parameter.
- Role_B=i,j,...
- This parameter is only valid for 1000Base-T adapter cards. For two 1000Base-T ports to communicate, one must take the role of the master (providing timing information), while the other must be the slave. Possible values are: Auto, Master or Slave whereas Auto is the default. Usually, the role of a port is negotiated between two ports during link establishment, but if that fails the port B of an adapter card can be forced to a specific setting with this parameter.
- ConType=i,j,...
- This parameter is a combination of all five per-port
parameters within one single parameter. This simplifies the configuration
of both ports of an adapter card. The different values of this variable
reflect the most meaningful combinations of port parameters. Possible
values and their corresponding combination of per-port parameters:
ConType | DupCap AutoNeg FlowCtrl Role Speed --------+------------------------------------------- Auto | Both On SymOrRem Auto Auto
Stating any other port parameter together with this ConType parameter will result in a merged configuration of those settings. This is due to the fact, that the per-port parameters (e.g., Speed_A) have a higher priority than the combined variable ConType.
- Moderation=i,j,...
- Interrupt moderation is employed to limit the maximum
number of interrupts the driver has to serve. That is, one or more
interrupts (which indicate any transmit or receive packet to be processed)
are queued until the driver processes them. When queued interrupts are to
be served, is determined by the IntsPerSec parameter, which is
explained later below. Possible moderation modes are: None,
Static or Dynamic whereas None is the default. The
different modes have the following meaning:
- IntsPerSec=i,j,...
- This parameter determines the length of any interrupt
moderation interval. Assuming that static interrupt moderation is to be
used, an IntsPerSec parameter value of 2000 will lead to an
interrupt moderation interval of 500 microseconds. Possible values for
this parameter are in the range of 30...40000 (interrupts per second). The
default value is 2000.
- PrefPort=i,j,...
- This parameter is used to force the preferred port to A or B (on dual-port network adapters). The preferred port is the one that is used if both ports A and B are detected as fully functional. Possible values are: A or B whereas A is the default.
- RlmtMode=i,j,...
- RLMT monitors the status of the port. If the link of the
active port fails, RLMT switches immediately to the standby link. The
virtual link is maintained as long as at least one "physical"
link is up. This parameters states how RLMT should monitor both ports.
Possible values are: CheckLinkState, CheckLocalPort,
CheckSeg or DualNet whereas CheckLinkState is the
default. The different modes have the following meaning:
