12 12 DESCRIPTION
13 13 The ixgbe 10 Gigabit Ethernet driver is a multi-threaded, loadable,
14 14 clonable, GLD-based STREAMS driver supporting the Data Link Provider
15 15 Interface, dlpi(7P), on Intel 10-Gigabit PCI Express Ethernet
16 16 controllers.
17 17
18 18
19 19 The ixgbe driver functions include controller initialization, frame
20 20 transmit and receive, promiscuous and multicast support, and error
21 21 recovery and reporting.
22 22
23 23
24 24 The ixgbe driver supports the following Intel 10-Gigabit PCI Express
25 25 Ethernet controllers:
26 26
27 27 o Intel Ethernet Controller 82598EB Family
28 28
29 29 o Intel Ethernet Controller 82599EB (X520) Family
30 30
31 31 o Intel Ethernet Controller X540 Family
32 32
33 33 o Intel Ethernet Controller X550 Family
34 34
35 35 The ixgbe driver and hardware support auto-negotiation, a protocol
36 36 specified by the IEEE 802.3ae specification.
37 37
38 38 APPLICATION PROGRAMMING INTERFACE
39 39 The cloning character-special device, /dev/ixgbe, is used to access all
40 40 Intel 10-Gigabit PCI Express Ethernet devices installed within the
41 41 system.
42 42
43 43
44 44 The ixgbe driver is managed by the dladm(1M) command line utility,
45 45 which allows VLANs to be defined on top of ixgbe instances and for
46 46 ixgbe instances to be aggregated. See dladm(1M) for more details.
47 47
48 48
49 49 You must send an explicit DL_ATTACH_REQ message to associate the opened
50 50 stream with a particular device (PPA). The PPA ID is interpreted as an
51 51 unsigned integer data type and indicates the corresponding device
52 52 instance (unit) number. The driver returns an error (DL_ERROR_ACK) if
53 53 the PPA field value does not correspond to a valid device instance
54 54 number for the system. The device is initialized on first attach and
55 55 de-initialized (stopped) at last detach.
56 56
57 57
58 58 The values returned by the driver in the DL_INFO_ACK primitive in
59 59 response to your DL_INFO_REQ are:
60 60
61 61 o Maximum SDU for Intel 82598EB is 16366.
62 62
63 63 o Maximum SDU for Intel 82599EB, X540 and X550 is 15500.
64 64
65 65 o Minimum SDU is 0.
66 66
67 67 o DLSAP address length is 8.
68 68
69 69 o MAC type is DL_ETHER.
70 70
71 71 o SAP (Service Access Point) length value is -2, meaning the
72 72 physical address component is followed immediately by a
73 73 2-byte SAP component within the DLSAP address.
74 74
75 75 o Broadcast address value is the Ethernet/IEEE broadcast
76 76 address (FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF).
77 77
78 78 Once in the DL_ATTACHED state, you must send a DL_BIND_REQ
79 79 to associate a particular SAP with the stream.

82 82 By default, the ixgbe driver performs auto-negotiation to select the
83 83 link speed and mode. Link speed and mode can only be 10000 Mbps full-
84 84 duplex for fiber, and only 10000, 1000, or 100 Mbps full-duplex for
85 85 copper. See the IEEE802.3 standard for more information.
