10-Gigabit Ethernet Network Adapter User’s Guide
For example, the first adapter would appear as xg1:
Gigabit Ethernet: xg1, module 001c10, PCI bus 0 slot 1
Linux Verification
Under Linux, the network interface name for the SGI 10-Gbit Ethernet network
adapter is ethN, where N is the number of the adapter: 1 for the first adapter, 1 for
the second adapter (if installed), and so on.
To verify that the adapter has been recognized, do the following:
1. To verify that the operating system has located the adapter, view the contents of
the /proc/net/dev file. For example, the following shows the first adapter,
eth1 (output truncated on the right side):
linux# cat /proc/net/dev
Inter-| Receive | Transmit
face |bytes packets errs drop fifo frame compressed multicast|bytes packets ...
lo: 7000 119 0 0 0 0 0 0 7000 119 ...
eth1: 7874776 35815 0 0 0 0 0 0 10800759 16412 ...
2. Load the s2io module:
linux# insmod s2io
To make this module load at system boot time, enter the following line into the
modules.conf file:
alias eth1 s2io
3. Use the ifconfig command to show the new ethN interface. For example:
linux# ifconfig -a
