In this example:
■ The first part within the double quotes specifies the hardware node name in
the device tree.
■ The number not enclosed in quotes is the instance number (shown in bold
italics).
■ The last part in double quotes is the driver name.
■ In the hardware node name, the last component after the last / character and
before the @ character is the device name.
■ The path name before the last component is the parent name.
■ The number after the final @ character within quotes is the unit-address.
To identify a PCI device unambiguously in the ixge.conf file, use the name, parent
name, and the unit-address for the device. Refer to the pci(4) man page for more
information about the PCI device specification.
2. Set the parameters for the above devices in the
/platform/sun4u/kernel/drv/ixge.conf file.
In the following example, the accept-jumbo parameter is set to enable jumbo
frames for all Sun 10-Gigabit Ethernet devices. See the driver.conf(4) man page
for more information.
In the following example, the accept-jumbo parameter is set to enable jumbo
frames is set for a single instance of the Sun 10-Gigabit Ethernet device.
In this example:
■ parent = "/pci@8,600000"
■ unit-address = "0"
Note – If you omit the name=, parent=, and unit-address= definitions, the
settings become global to all Sun 10-Gigabit Ethernet instances.
3. Save the ixge.conf file.
accept-jumbo=1;
name="pci8086,1048.108e.7036" parent="pci@8,600000" unit-address=
"0" accept-jumbo=1;
