FastEthernet PCI Adapter Installation & User's Guide

"/pci@1f,2000/pci@2/SUNW,qfe@1,1" 5 "qfe"

"/pci@1f,2000/pci@2/SUNW,qfe@2,1" 6 "qfe"

"/pci@1f,2000/pci@2/SUNW,qfe@3,1" 7 "qfe"

In the example above, the four SUNW,qfe@x,1 instances are from a Sun Quad

FastEthernet PCI adapter installed in slot 2. For clarity, the instance numbers are

bold.

2. Use the instance number to select the device.

# ndd -set /dev/qfe instance instance#

The device remains selected until you change the selection.

Non-Interactive and Interactive Modes

You can use the ndd utility in two modes:

Non-interactive

Interactive

In non-interactive mode, you invoke the utility to execute a speciﬁc command. Once

the command is executed, you exit the utility. In interactive mode, you can use the

utility to get or set more than one parameter value. (Refer to the ndd (1M) man page

for more information.)

Using the ndd Utility in Non-Interactive Mode

This section describes how to modify and to display parameter values.

1. To modify a parameter value, use the -set option.

If you invoke the ndd utility with the -set option, the utility passes value, which

must be speciﬁed down to the named /dev/qfe driver instance, and assigns it to

the parameter:

# ndd -set /dev/qfe parameter value

1. To display the value of a parameter, specify the parameter name (and omit the

value).

When you omit the -set option, a query operation is assumed and the utility

queries the named driver instance, retrieves the value associated with the

speciﬁed parameter, and prints it:

# ndd /dev/qfe parameter
