Physical points of attachment (PPAs) are interpreted as the 46 instance number of the \fBpcn\fR controller as assigned by the 47 operating environment\. 48 .sp 49 .LP 50 The values returned by the driver in the \fBDL_INFO_ACK\fR response are: 51 .RS +4 52 .TP 53 .ie t \(bu 54 .el o 55 Maximum SDU is 1500\. 56 .RE 57 .RS +4 58 .TP 59 .ie t \(bu 60 .el o 61 Minimum SDU is 0\. 62 .RE 63 .RS +4 64 .TP 65 .ie t \(bu 66 .el o 67 The dlsap address length is 8\. 68 .RE 69 .RS +4 70 .TP 71 .ie t \(bu 72 .el o 73 MAC type is \fBDL_ETHER\fR\. 74 .RE 75 .RS +4 76 .TP 77 .ie t \(bu 78 .el o 79 SAP length is \-2\. The 6\-byte physical address is immediately followed by a 80 2\-byte SAP\. 81 .RE 82 .RS +4 83 .TP 84 .ie t \(bu 85 .el o 86 Service mode is \fBDL_CLDLS\fR\. 87 .RE 88 .RS +4 89 .TP 90 .ie t \(bu 91 .el o 92 The broadcast address is the 6\-byte Ethernet broadcast address 93 (\fBff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff\fR)\. 94 .SH "CONFIGURATION" 95 .sp 96 .LP 97 The \fBpcn\fR driver performs auto-negotiation to select the link speed and 98 mode\. Link sped may be 100Mbps full\-duplex, 100Mbps half\-duplex, 99 10Mbps full\-duplex, or 10Mbps half\-duplex, depending on the hardware 100 adapter type\. See the \fIIEEE802.3\fR standard for more information\. 101 .sp 102 .LP 103 The capabilities advertised by the \fBpcn\fR device can be set using 104 \fBdladm\fR(1m)\. The driver supports a number of parameters whose names 105 being with \fBen_\fR (see below)\. Each of these parameters contains a 106 boolean value that determines if the devices advertises that mode of 107 operations\. The \fBadv_autoneg_cap\fR parameter controls whether 108 auto-negotioation is performed\. If \fBadv_autoneg_cap\fR is set to 0, the 109 driver forces the mode of operation selected by the first non-zero 110 parameter in priority order as shown below: 111 .sp 112 .in +2 113 .nf 114 (highest priority/greatest throughput) 115 en_100fdx_cap 100Mbps full duplex 116 en_10fdx_cap 10Mbps full duplex 117 (lowest priority/least throughput) 118 .fi 119 .in -2 120 121 .sp 122 .LP 123 All capabilities default to enabled\. Note that changing any capability 124 parameter causes te link to go down while the link partners renegotiate 125 the link speed/duplex using the newly changed capabilities\. 126 .SH "ATTRIBUTES" 127 .sp 128 .LP 129 See \fBattributes\fR(5) for a description of the following attributes: 130 .sp 131 132 .sp 133 .TS 134 box; 135 c | c 136 l | l . 137 ATTRIBUTE TYPE ATTRIBUTE VALUE 138 _ 139 Architecture x86 140 _ 141 Interface Stability Committed 142 .TE 143 144 .SH "FILES" 145 .sp 146 .ne 2 147 .na 148 \fB\fB/dev/pcn\fR\fR 149 .ad 150 .sp .6 151 .RS 4n 152 Special character device\. 153 .RE 154 155 .sp 156 .ne 2 157 .na 158 \fB\fB/kernel/drv/pcn\fR\fR 159 .ad 160 .sp 6 161 .RS 4n 162 32\-bit driver binary\. 163 .RE 164 165 .sp 166 .ne 2 167 .na 168 \fB\fB/kernel/drv/amd64/pcn\fR\fR 169 .ad 170 .sp .6 171 .RS 4n 172 64\-bit driver binary (x86)\. 173 .RE 174 175 .SH "SEE ALSO" 176 .sp 177 .LP 178 \fBattributes\fR(5), \fBstreamio\fR(7I), \fBdlpi\fR(7p) 179 .sp 180 .LP 181 \fIIEEE 802.3\fR \(em Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2002
