18 .SH SYNOPSIS

22
23 .SH DESCRIPTION
24 .LP
25 The
26 .B bnxe
27 Ethernet driver is a multi-threaded, loadable,
28 clonable, GLDv3-based driver supporting the Data Link Provider Interface,
29 .BR dlpi (7P),
30 over QLogic NetXtreme II 10 Gigabit Ethernet controllers. Multiple
31 NetXtreme II controllers installed within the system are supported by
32 the driver.
33
34 The
35 .B bnxe
36 driver provides support for the NetXtreme II 10 Gigabit line of devices.
37 Functions include chip initialization, frame transmit and receive,
38 multicast and promiscuous support, error recovery and reporting. These
39 devices provide 10/100/1000/2500/10000 Mbps networking interfaces.

41 .SH DRIVER CONFIGURATION
42
43 The primary methods of configuration are via modification of the
44 .I /kernel/drv/bnxe.conf
45 file or execution of the
46 .BR dladm (1M)
47 utility. There are many configuration items available and all are thoroughly
48 documented in the
49 .I /kernel/drv/bnxe.conf
50 file. Note that for
51 changes to this file to take affect the driver must be reloaded or the system
52 rebooted. In order to reload the driver with new configuration changes all
53 .B bnxe
54 interfaces must be first unplumbed and then the
55 .BR update_drv (1M)
56 tool must be executed. For the configuration items that do not require a
57 driver reload the
58 .BR dladm (1M)
59 tool can be used to dynamically change the option.

61 .SH DEBUGGING

63 .SS kstat
64
65 There are many statistics exposed via
66 .B kstat
67 by
68 .BR bnxe .
69
70 The main groups are:
71 .TP
72 "intr"
73 for interrupts stats
74 .TP
75 "l2chip"
76 for layer 2 chip stats,
77 .TP
78 "l2driver"
79 for layer 2 driver stats,
80 .TP
81 "l2stats"
82 for general layer 2 stats,
83 .TP
84 "link"
85 for detailed link status,
86 .TP
87 "mac"
88 for GLDv3 MAC layer stats,
89 .TP
90 "rxq#"
91 for Rx ring stats,
92 .TP
93 "txq#"
94 for Tx ring stats, and
95 .TP
96 "stats"
97 for general driver stats and version info.
