5 The hme Device Driver 2 The hme device driver handles the SUNW,hme device on these hardware devices: • SunSwift SBus Adapter • SunFastEthernet Adapter 2.
6 Platform Notes: The hme Fast Ethernet Device Driver — May 1996 2 In addition to the RJ-45 connector , a Media Independent Interface (MII) connector , which is an Ultra DB 40 connector , is also provided on Sun systems.
The hme Device Driver 7 2 • Selects the highest common denominator mode of operation based on the following priorities: • 100 BASE-T4 • 100 Mbps, full-duplex • 100 Mbps, half-duplex • 10 Mbp.
8 Platform Notes: The hme Fast Ethernet Device Driver — May 1996 2 • If the external transceiver supports auto-negotiation, the driver uses the auto-negotiation feature to select the link speed and mode. • If the external transceiver does not support auto-negotiation, the driver selects the highest priority mode supported by the transceiver .
9 Parameter Definitions 3 This chapter describes the parameters and settings for the hme device driver . Driver Parameter V alues and Definitions The following sections describe the hme driver parameters, which are listed in T able 3-1.
10 Platform Notes: The hme Fast Ethernet Device Driver — May 1996 3 adv_100hdx_cap Read and write Operational mode parameter adv_10fdx_cap Read and write Operational mode parameter adv_10hdx_cap Rea.
Parameter Definitions 11 3 Defining the Current Status The read-only parameters described in T able 3-2 explain the operational mode of the interface. These parameters define the current status. Inter-Packet Gap Parameters The Fast Ethernet Parallel Port SCSI (FEPS) ASIC supports programmable Inter-Packet Gap (IPG) parameters ipg1 and ipg2 .
12 Platform Notes: The hme Fast Ethernet Device Driver — May 1996 3 By default, the driver sets ipg1 to 8-byte time and ipg2 to 4-byte time, which are the standar d values. (Byte time is the time it takes to transmit one byte on the link, with a link speed of either 100 Mbps or 10 Mbps.
Parameter Definitions 13 3 T able 3-4 defines the lance_mode and ipg0 parameters. Operational Mode Parameters T able 3-5 describes the operational mode parameters and their default values. 1. The default value is 16 nibble-times, which is 6.4 microseconds for 10 Mbps and 0.
14 Platform Notes: The hme Fast Ethernet Device Driver — May 1996 3 Selecting the Internal or External T ransceiver Use the use_int_xcvr parameter to change the default behavior . For example, you can select the internal transceiver , even though the driver is capable of selecting the external transceiver .
Parameter Definitions 15 3 Defining the Number of Back-to-Back Packets T o T ransmit The pace_size parameter (see T able 3-6) defines the maximum number of back-to-back packets you can transmit at one time. If the value is zero, ther e is no limit to the number of back-to-back packets that can be transmitted.
16 Platform Notes: The hme Fast Ethernet Device Driver — May 1996 3 The parameters in T able 3-7 define the capabilities of the hardwar e. The internal transceiver can support all of these capabilities. The capabilities of the external transceiver are dependent on the device.
Parameter Definitions 17 3 If the link partner is not capable of auto-negotiation (when lp_autoneg_cap is 0) the information described in T able 3-8 is not relevant and the parameter value=0.
18 Platform Notes: The hme Fast Ethernet Device Driver — May 1996 3.
19 Setting Parameters 4 This chapter describes how to configure the hme driver parameters using the ndd utility in the /etc/system file, or in the hme.conf file. Use the ndd utility to configure parameters that ar e valid until you reboot the system.
20 Platform Notes: The hme Fast Ethernet Device Driver — May 1996 4 T o set parameters so they remain in effect after you r eboot the system: • Add the parameter values to /etc/system when you want to configure parameters for all devices in the system.
Setting Parameters 21 4 2. Use that instance number to select the device as follows: The device remains selected until you change the selection. Non-Interactive and Interactive Modes Y ou can use the ndd utility in two modes: • Non-interactive • Interactive In non-interactive mode, you invoke the utility to execute a specific command.
22 Platform Notes: The hme Fast Ethernet Device Driver — May 1996 4 ▼ T o display the value of a parameter ♦ Specify the parameter name (and omit the value).
Setting Parameters 23 4 ▼ T o list all the parameters supported by the hme driver ♦ T ype ndd /dev/hme ? . (Refer to T able 3-1 through 3-8 for parameter descriptions.
24 Platform Notes: The hme Fast Ethernet Device Driver — May 1996 4 Setting Forced Mode This section describes how to set forced mode (not capable of auto- negotiation). ▼ T o select one of the five local transceiver capabilities and set the mode to for ced mode 1.
Setting Parameters 25 4 Configuring TCP/IP for Maximum Performance This section describes how to benchmark the TCP/IP throughput and how to set the TCP/IP hiwater marks for best performance. ▼ T o benchmark the TCP/IP throughput ♦ Use the ndd command to configure the values of some of the TCP parameters for maximum performance.
26 Platform Notes: The hme Fast Ethernet Device Driver — May 1996 4 These parameter values, described in Chapter 3, are applicable to all SUNW,hme devices on the system. Refer to T able 3-2 on page 1 1 through T able 3-8 on page 16 for parameter descriptions.
Setting Parameters 27 4 Setting Parameters Using the hme.conf File Y ou can also specify the properties described in the section “Setting Parameters in the /etc/system File” on page 25 on a per device basis by creating the hme.conf file in the /kernel/drv directory .
28 Platform Notes: The hme Fast Ethernet Device Driver — May 1996 4 4. Create the hme.conf file in the /kernel/drv directory using a text editor and add lines similar to the following to the file: • Specify name=”hme” and class=”sbus . ” • Use the reg property to specify the device, 0xe in this case.
