   3 NAME
   4      qede - QLogic FastLinQ QL45xxx 10/25/40/50/100 Gigabit Ethernet Driver
   5 
   6 SYNOPSIS
   7      /dev/net/qede*
   8 
   9 DESCRIPTION
  10      The qede Ethernet driver is a multi-threaded, loadable, clonable,
  11      GLDv3-based driver supporting the Data Link Provider Interface, dlpi(7P),
  12      over QLogic FastLinQ QL45xxx 10/25/40/50/100 Gigabit Ethernet
  13      controllers.  Multiple QLogic FastLinQ controllers installed within the
  14      system are supported by the driver.
  15 
  16      The qede driver provides support for the QLogic QL45xxx line of devices.
  17      Functions include chip initialization, frame transmit and receive,
  18      multicast and promiscuous support, error recovery and reporting.  These
  19      devices provide 10000/25000/40000/50000/100000 Mbps networking
  20      interfaces.

  22 DRIVER CONFIGURATION
  23      The primary methods of configuration are via modification of the
  24      /kernel/drv/qede.conf file or execution of the dladm(1M) utility.  There
  25      are many configuration items available and all are thoroughly documented
  26      in the /kernel/drv/qede.conf file.  Note that for changes to this file to
  27      take affect the driver must be reloaded or the system rebooted.  In order
  28      to reload the driver with new configuration changes all qede interfaces
  29      must be first unplumbed and then the update_drv(1M) tool must be
  30      executed.  For the configuration items that do not require a driver
  31      reload the dladm(1M) tool can be used to dynamically change the option.
  32      Use of dladm(1M) is the preferred method.

  34 DEBUGGING
  35    kstat
  36      There are many statistics exposed via kstat(1M) by the qede driver.  The
  37      main groups are:
  38 
  39      intr        for interrupts stats
  40 
  41      l2chip      for layer 2 chip stats
  42 
  43      l2driver    for layer 2 driver stats
  44 
  45      l2stats     for general layer 2 stats
  46 
  47      link        for detailed link status
  48 
  49      mac         for GLDv3 MAC layer stats
  50 
  51      rxq#        for Rx ring stats
  52 
  53      txq#        for Tx ring stats
  54 
  55      stats       for general driver stats and version info.
  56 
  57      To get a list of all the individual statistics in these groups run:
  58 
  59            # kstat -m qede -i 0 -l
