Minimum: -1
Maximum: 100000
Default: 0
mac Ethernet MAC Address. The default value is the factory MAC address.
mtu Maximum Ethernet payload size, in bytes. MTU above 1500 is allowed only
when the speed is 1 Gbps.
Minimum: 257
Maximum: 9000
Default: 1500
pktsize=bytes Specifies the packet size in bytes of each test frame. The default packet size is
current MTU-3. Only valid for the diagnose
operation.
recv_coal_ticks
Max Recv Coalesce Ticks: Maximum time for the NIC to wait after receiving a
frame before it raises an interrupt.
NOTE: Modifying this configuration parameter to non-default values is no
longer recommended for PCI-X cards and IS NOT supported for PCIe cards.
Minimum: 0
Max: 65535
Default: 0
recv_max_bufs Max Recv Buffers: Maximum number of receive descriptors for the NIC to
coalesce before it raises an interrupt.
NOTE: Modifying this configuration parameter to non-default values is no
longer recommended for PCI-X cards and IS NOT supported for PCIe cards.
Minimum: 1
Maximum: 63
Default: 1
rx_cko Receive Checksum Offload: Hardware TCP/UDP (IPv4) receive checksum
offload.
Values:Off,On
Default: Off
rx_fctrl Receive Flow Control: Ability of the interface to receive Ethernet Flow control
frames.
Values:Off,On
Default: On (case insensitive).
speed Speed, Duplex and Autonegotiation: Actual values of speed, duplex and
autonegotiation if the link is up; the configured values otherwise.
Note that, for 1000Base-SX, the speed is always fixed at 1 Gbps, and the
duplex is always Full. Only the autonegotiation can be turned on or off. So,
the valid values to set for speed in the command line for 1000Base-SX are
auto_on and auto_off (case insensitive).
For 1000Base-T, it is essential that the link partner have the same speed,
duplex and autonegotiation settings as the NIC being configured. The speed
can be forced to 10 or 100 Mbps, with Full or Half Duplex, with autonegotia-
tion off. The speed can also be forced to 1000 Mbps with autonegotiation on
and Full Duplex only. This is done by setting speed to one of
10HD, 10FD,
100HD, 100FD,or1000FD (case insensitive).
auto_on is the option used for auto-negotiation purpose. Here the speed of
the link depends upon the link partners ability and its speed setting.
In summary, the valid values to set for speed in the command line for
1000Base-T are:
10HD, 10FD, 100HD, 100FD, 1000FD, and auto_on.
The speed value can take one of three formats. In the human-readable for-
mat, it is of the form:
