CHAPTER 1 Product Overview This chapter provides a description of the Sun GigaSwift Ethernet adapter hardware and software. Hardware Overview The adapter relieves congestion experienced at the backbone and server levels by today’s networks, while providing a future upgrade path for high-end workstations that require more bandwidth than fast Ethernet can provide.
Sun GigaSwift Ethernet UTP Adapter The Sun GigaSwift Ethernet UTP adapter is a single-port gigabit Ethernet copperbased PCI Bus card. It can be configured to operate in 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps Ethernet networks.
Hardware and Software Requirements Before using the Sun GigaSwift Ethernet adapter, make sure your system meets the following hardware and software requirements: Hardware and Software Requirements Hardware Sun Ultra™ 5, 10, 60, 80 Sun Enterprise™ 220R, 250, 420R, 450, 3000/3500, 4000/4500, 5000/5500, 6000/6500, 10000 Sun Blade™ 1000 OpenBoot PROM Revision 3.x, 4.x Operating environment Solaris 2.6, 7, 8 releases Product Features You can install or replace the Sun GigaSwift Ethernet adapter.
■ ■ ■ IEEE 802.1P/802.
CHAPTER 2 Installing the Adapter This chapter describes how to install the adapter in your system and how to verify that it has been installed correctly.
2. Insert the Sun GigaSwift Ethernet Driver 1.0 CD into a CD-ROM drive that is connected to your system. ■ ■ If your system is running Sun Enterprise Volume Manager™, it should automatically mount the CD-ROM to the /cdrom/cdrom0 directory.
3. Install the software packages by typing the following at the command line, replacing the OS_VER with your version (2.
Installing the Adapter Without Dynamic Reconfiguration ▼ To Install the Adapter Note – The following instructions describe the basic tasks required to install the adapter. Refer to your system installation or service manual for detailed PCI adapter installation instructions. 1. Halt and power off your system. 2. Power off all of the peripherals connected to your system. 3. Open the system unit. 4. Attach the adhesive copper strip of the antistatic wrist strap to the metal casing of the power supply.
8. Applying even pressure at both corners of the adapter, push the PCI adapter until it is firmly seated in the slot. Caution – Do not use excessive force when installing the adapter into the PCI slot. You may damage the adapter’s PCI connector. If the adapter does not seat properly when you apply even pressure, remove the adapter and carefully reinstall it again. 9. Secure the adapter to the PCI slot using the screw you removed in Step 6. 10. Detach the wrist strap and close the system unit. 11.
Note – Verification is not required if your system supports dynamic reconfiguration (DR). 1. Power on the system, and when the banner appears, press the Stop-A key sequence to interrupt the boot process and display the OpenBoot (ok) prompt. If a keyboard is not attached then send the appropriate Break sequence on the serial port.
4. View the .properties file for a list of device properties. It might be difficult to tell if the devices on your network are GigaSwift Ethernet devices or other network interface cards. The .properties command displays the specific information about the installed adapter. To make sure that the device you just installed is connected to the network, type: ok .
Setting the local-mac-address Property Note – Setting the local-mac-address property is only required if you will be booting from the network. The network interface of the Sun GigaSwift Ethernet adapter has been assigned a unique media access control (MAC) address that represents the 48-bit Ethernet address for that interface. The OpenBoot firmware reports this MAC address via the local-mac-address property in the device nodes corresponding to the network interface.
2. View the device that you installed. Using the previous example, type: ok cd /pci@1f,2000/pci@1/network@4 3. Set the Sun GigaSwift Ethernet device to be your default boot device, type: # setenv boot-device=/pci@1f,2000/pci@1/network@4 Rebooting the System After verifying the adapter installation, use the boot -r command to perform a reconfiguration boot on your system.
Installing the Adapter With Dynamic Reconfiguration If you have a Sun Enterprise system that supports dynamic reconfiguration (DR), you do not have to reboot your system after installing the adapter. The process of adding and configuring an adapter with DR involves (1) connecting the attachment point and (2) configuring its occupant. In most cases, the cfgadm(1M) command can perform both steps at once. ▼ To Install an Adapter in a Dynamic Reconfiguration System 1.
2. If the status of the slot is not “empty” or “disconnected”, type: # cfgadm -c disconnect sysctrl#:slot# where the sysctrl# = 0 for the Enterprise 10000 and slot#= the slot available for the adapter. For example, if you were installing the adapter into slot #3 on an Enterprise 10000, you would type the following: # cfgadm -c disconnect sysctrl0:3 3. Physically insert the adapter into the slot and look for an acknowledgement on the console, such as, “name board inserted into slot3.
Now the system is also aware of the usable devices which reside on the adapter and all devices may be mounted or configured to be used. If the command fails to connect and configure the adapter and slot (the status should be shown as “configured” and “ok”), do the connection and configuration as separate steps: a.
CHAPTER 3 Network Configuration This chapter describes how to edit the network host files after the adapter has been installed on your system.
Use the ifconfig command to assign an IP address to the network interface. Type the following at the command line, replacing ip_address with the adapter’s IP address: # ifconfig ce0 plumb ip_address up Refer to the ifconfig(1M) man page and the Solaris documentation for more information. ■ If you want a set-up that will remain the same after you reboot, create an /etc/hostname.cenumber file, where number corresponds to the instance number of the ce interface you plan to use.
3. Create an appropriate entry in the /etc/hosts file for each active ce interface. For example: # cat /etc/hosts # # Internet host table # 127.0.0.1 localhost 129.144.10.57 zardoz loghost 129.144.11.83 zardoz-11 Setting Up a Diskless Client System on a GigaSwift Ethernet Network Note – Setting up a diskless client over GigaSwift Ethernet adapter in VLAN configuration is not supported.
▼ To Set Up a Diskless Client on a GigaSwift Ethernet Network 1. Locate the root directory of the diskless client on the host server. The root directory of diskless client system is commonly installed in the host server’s /export/root/client_name directory, where client_name is the diskless client’s host name. In this procedure, the root directory will be: # ls /export/root systest157-38/ systest162-38/ systest160-38/ systest177-38/ systest180-38/ systest182-38/ 2.
Installing the Solaris Operating Environment Over a GigaSwift Ethernet Network The Solaris Advanced Installation Guide describes the full procedure for installing the Solaris operating environment over the network. The procedure below assumes that you have created an install server, which contains the image of the Solaris CD, and that you have set up the client system to be installed over the network.
2. Find the root directory of the client system. The client system’s root directory can be found in the install server’s /etc/bootparams file. Use the grep command to search this file for the root directory. # grep client_name /etc/bootparams client_name root=server_name:/netinstall/Solaris_2.7/Tools/Boot install=server_name:/netinstall boottype=:in rootopts=:rsize=32768 In the example above, the root directory for the Solaris 7 client is /netinstall.
6. Shut down and halt the client system. Use the shutdown command to display the OpenBoot (ok) prompt. # shutdown -i0 -g0 -y . . . (shutdown command messages omitted) . . . ok 7. At the ok prompt, use the show-nets command to find the device path of the GigaSwift Ethernet device. The show-nets command lists the system devices. You should see the full path name of the network device, similar to the example below. In this example, the network@4 device is the Sun GigaSwift Ethernet adapter.
10. After installing the Solaris operating environment, install the Sun GigaSwift Ethernet software on the client system. The software installed in Step 4 was required to boot the client system over the GigaSwift Ethernet interface. You now need to install the software in order for the operating system to use the client’s GigaSwift Ethernet interfaces in normal operation. Before installing the Sun GigaSwift Ethernet software, make sure that the client system does not already have the software installed.
CHAPTER 4 Configuring Driver Parameters This chapter describes how to configure the driver parameters used by the Sun GigaSwift Ethernet adapter. This chapter contains the following sections: ■ ■ ■ “GigaSwift Ethernet Device Driver Parameters” on page 25 “Setting ce Driver Parameters” on page 33 “GigaSwift Ethernet Driver Operating Statistics” on page 39 GigaSwift Ethernet Device Driver Parameters The ce device driver controls the GigaSwift Ethernet devices.
Driver Parameter Values and Definitions TABLE 4-1 describes the parameters and settings for the ce device driver.
Operational Mode Parameters The following parameters determine the transmit and receive speed and duplex. TABLE 4-2 describes the operational mode parameters and their default values.
Flow Control Parameters The ce device is capable of sourcing (transmitting) and terminating (receiving) pause frames conforming to the IEEE 802.3x Frame Based Link Level Flow Control Protocol. In response to received flow control frames, the ce device can slow down its transmit rate. On the other hand, the ce device is capable of sourcing flow control frames, requesting the link partner to slow down, provided that the link partner supports this feature.
Gigabit Forced Mode Parameter In 10/100 mode it was possible to disable auto-negotiation and force the link to the speed you required. With Gigabit copper interfaces this feature is also available but may require you to decide whether your side of the connection is a master or a slave. The link_master parameter will facilitate that. Usually switches will be enabled as master therefore this parameter can remain unchanged, since slave operation is the default.
TABLE 4-5 defines the enable_ipg0 and ipg0 parameters. TABLE 4-5 Parameters Defining enable_ipg0 and ipg0 Parameter Values Description enable_ipg0 0 1 enable_ipg0 reset enable_ipg0 set (Default=8) ipg0 0 to 255 The additional time delay (or gap) before transmitting a packet (after receiving the packet) (Default=8) The ce device supports the programmable Interpacket Gap (IPG) parameters ipg1 and ipg2. The total IPG is the sum of ipg1 and ipg2. The total IPG is 0.
Interrupt Parameters TABLE 4-7 describes the receive interrupt blanking values. TABLE 4-7 RX Blanking Register for Alias Read Field Name Values Description rx_intr_pkts 0 to 511 Interrupt after this number of packets have arrived since the last packet was serviced. A value of zero indicates no packet blanking. (Default=3) rx_intr_time 0 to 524287 Interrupt after 4.5 US ticks have elapsed since the last packet was serviced. A value of zero indicates no time blanking.
TABLE 4-8 RX Random Early Detecting 8-Bit Vectors Field Name Values Description red_dv6to8k 0 to 255 Random early detection and packet drop vectors for when fifo threshold is greater than 6,144 bytes and less than 8,192 bytes. Probability of drop can be programmed on a 12.5 percent granularity. For example, if bit 8 is set the first packet out of every eight will be dropped in this region.
TABLE 4-9 PCI Bus Interface Parameters Parameter Description rx_dma_weight Determine the multiplication factor for granting credit to the RX side during a weighted round robin arbitration. Values are 0 to 3. (Default=0) infinite_burst allows the infinite burst capability to be utilized. When this is in effect and the system supports infinite burst. The adapter will not free the bus until complete packets are transferred across the bus. Values are 0 or 1.
▼ To Specify Device Instances for the ndd Utility Before you use the ndd utility to get or set a parameter for a ce device, you must specify the device instance for the utility. 1. Check the /etc/path_to_inst file to identify the instance associated with a particular device.
● 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/ce driver instance, and assigns it to the parameter: # ndd -set /dev/ce parameter value When you change any adv parameter, a message similar to the following appears: xcvr addr:0x00 - link up 1000 Mbps half duplex ● To display the value of a parameter, specify the parameter name and omit the value.
● To list all the parameters supported by the ce driver, type ndd /dev/ce. (See TABLE 4-1 through TABLE 4-11 for parameter descriptions.
▼ To Disable Autonegotiation Mode If your network equipment does not support autonegotiation, or if you want to specify your network speed, you can set autonegotiation to off on the ce device. 1.
▼ To Set Driver Parameters Using a ce.conf File 1. Obtain the hardware path names for the ce devices in the device tree. Typically, the path names and the associated instance numbers are in the /etc/path_to_inst file. # grep ce /etc/path_to_inst "/pci108e;abba;/pci@4,4000/network@0" 2 "ce" "/pci108e;abba;/pci@6,2000/network@0" 1 "ce" "/pci108e;abba;/pci@4,2000/network@0" 0 "ce" ■ In the previous example: The first part within the double quotes specifies the hardware node name in the device tree.
In the following example, the adv_autoneg_cap and adv_1000fdx_cap parameters are set for all Sun GigaSwift Ethernet devices. (See the driver.conf(4) man page for more information.) adv_autoneg_cap=0 adv_1000fdx_cap=0 In the following example, the adv_autoneg_cap and adv_1000fdx_cap parameters are set for a single instance of the Sun GigaSwift Ethernet device. name=pci108e,abba parent=pci@4,4000 unit address+4 adv_autoneg_cap=0 adv_1000fdx_cap=0; 3. Save the ce.conf file. 4.

CHAPTER 5 Configuring VLANs This chapter explains VLANs in detail and provides configuration instructions and examples. ■ VLANs: Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) are commonly used to split up groups of network users into manageable broadcast domains, to create logical segmentation of workgroups, and to enforce security policies among each logical segment. With multiple VLANs on an adapter, a server with a single adapter can have a logical presence on multiple IP subnets.
Although VLANs are commonly used to create individual broadcast domains and/ or separate IP subnets, it is sometimes useful for a server to have a presence on more than one VLAN simultaneously. Several Sun products support multiple VLANs on a per port or per interface basis, allowing very flexible network configurations. FIGURE 5-1 shows an example network that uses VLANs .
■ The Main Server is a high-use server that needs to be accessed from all VLANs and IP subnets. The server has an Sun GigabitEthernet adapter installed. All three IP subnets are accessed via the single physical adapter interface. The server is attached to one of the SunSwitch’s Gigabit Ethernet ports, which is configured for VLANs 1, 2, and 3. Both the adapter and the connected SunSwitch port have tagging turned on.
Octet 1 TPID (0x8100 3 bits 1 bit User_priority CFI FIGURE 5-2 12 bytes 2 3 4 VID Ethernet Tag Header Format By default, a single VLAN is configured for every port, which groups all ports into the same broadcast domain, just as if there were no VLANs at all, VLAN tagging for the switch port turned off. ▼ To Configure Static VLANs 1. Create one hostname6.
2. Use the ifconfig(1M) to configure a VLAN virtual device, for example: # ifconfig ce123000 plumb up # ifconfig ce224000 plumb up The output of ifconfig -a on a system having VLAN devices ce123000 and ce224000: # ifconfig -a lo0: flags=1000849 mtu 8232 index 1 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000 hme0: flags=1000843 mtu 1500 index 2 inet 129.144.131.91 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 129.144.131.
