CHAPTER 2 Installing the Adapter This chapter tells you how to install the Sun Quad FastEthernet PCI adapter in your system and how to verify that it has been installed correctly . Adding an Entry to the driver_aliases File If your system is running the Solaris 2.
Installing the Adapter Note - Refer to your system installation or service manual for detailed instructions for the following tasks. 1. Power off your system and open the system unit. 2. Attach the adhesive copper strip of the wrist strap to the metal casing of the power supply .
V erifying the Installation After you have installed the Sun Quad FastEthernet PCI adapter , but befor e you boot your system, perform the following tasks to verify the installation. Refer to the Solaris 2.x Handbook for SMCC Peripherals manual or your Solaris documentation for the detailed instructions.
1. Examine network activity and incoming network packets by typing watch-net-all at the ok prompt. The watch-net-all command monitors network traf fic on all network interfaces in the system. In the example below , the watch-net-all command tests all four of the adapter’s interfaces, two of which ar e connected to a network.
Rebooting the System After you have examined the network activity , perform a r econfiguration boot on your system so the operating envir onment can recognize the Sun Quad FastEthernet PCI adapter . 1. Perform a reconfiguration boot on the system. ok boot -r Refer to the Solaris 2.

CHAPTER 3 Configuring the Driver Software This chapter describes how to configur e the driver softwar e used by the Sun Quad FastEthernet PCI adapter . Installing the Driver Software The Sun Quad FastEthernet 2.0 CD-ROM contains the softwar e r equired by the Sun Quad FastEthernet PCI adapter .
"/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. Create an /etc/hostname.
3. Create an appropriate entry in the /etc/hosts file for each active qfe channel. Using the example in Step 1 on page 11, you will have: # cat /etc/hosts # # Internet host table # 127.0.0.1 localhost 129.144.10.57 zardoz loghost 129.144.11.83 zardoz-11 129.
Post-Installation Pr ocedures (Optional) Perform the tasks in the following sections to customize the performance of the Sun Quad FastEthernet PCI adapter . Configuring Driver Parameters The qfe device driver , which is loaded from the CD-ROM, controls the SUNW,qfe Ethernet devices.
Forcing Network Speed Between 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps 1. At the ok prompt, use the show-devs command to list the system devices. Y ou should see the full path names of the qfe devices, similar to the example below: /pci@1f,2000/pci@2/SUNW,qfe@0,1 /pci@1f,2000/pci@2/SUNW,qfe@1,1 /pci@1f,2000/pci@2/SUNW,qfe@2,1 /pci@1f,2000/pci@2/SUNW,qfe@3,1 2.
Auto-Negotiation A key featur e of the Sun Quad FastEthernet PCI adapter is auto-negotiation. The auto-negotiation protocol, as specified by the 100BASE-T standar d, selects the operation mode (half-duplex or full-duplex), and the auto-sensing protocol selects the speed (10 Mbps or 100 Mbps) for the adapter .
The mac-address property of the network device specifies the network address (system-wide or local-mac-address ) used for booting the system. T o start using the MAC addr esses assigned to the networ.

APPENDIX C Configuring the Quad FastEthernet Device Driver Parameters The qfe device driver controls the Sun Quad FastEthernet PCI adapter’s SUNW,qfe Ethernet devices. Y ou can manually configure the qfe device driver parameters to customize each SUNW,qfe device in your system.
Driver Parameter V alues and Definitions This section describes the parameters and settings for the qfe device driver . T able C–1 lists these parameters.
T ABLE C–1 qfe Driver Parameter , Status, and Descriptions (continued) Parameter Status Description 100hdx_cap Read only Local transceiver capability of the hardwar e 10fdx_cap Read only Local trans.
T ABLE C–2 Read-Only Parameters Defining the Current Status Parameter V alues Description link_status 0 1 Current link status = Link down = Link up link_speed 0 1 V alid only if the link is up = 10.
If your network has systems that use longer IPG (the sum of ipg1 and ipg2 ) and if those machines seem to be slow in accessing the network, incr ease the values of ipg1 and ipg2 to match the longer IPGs of other machines.
Operational Mode Parameters T able C–5 describes the operational mode parameters and their default values. T ABLE C–5 Operational Mode Parameters Parameter V alues Description adv_autoneg_cap 0 1 .
Defining the Number of Back-to-Back Packets to T ransmit The pace_size parameter (see T able C–6) defines the maximum number of back-to-back packets you can transmit at one time. If the value is zero, there is no limit to the number of back-to-back packets that can be transmitted.
T ABLE C–7 Read-Only T ransceiver Capabilities (continued) Parameter V alues Description 10fdx_cap 0 1 Local transceiver capability of the har dwar e; initialized at startup = Not 10Mbit/sec full-du.
If the link partner is capable of auto-negotiation (when lp_autoneg_cap is 1) then the speed and mode information is displayed when you use auto-negotiation and get the link partner capabilities. Setting qfe Driver Parameters Y ou can set the qfe device driver parameters in three ways ( ndd , /etc/system , and qfe.
"/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.
Using the ndd Utility in Interactive Mode 1. T o modify a parameter value in interactive mode, specify ndd /dev/qfe ,a s shown below . The ndd utility then prompts you for the name of the parameter: #.
Setting Forced Mode This section describes how to set forced mode (not capable of auto-negotiation). T o Select One Local T ransceiver Capability and Setting Forced Mode 1. Select one of the following capabilities: adv_100fdx_cap , adv_100hdx_cap , adv_10fdx_cap ,o r adv_10hdx_cap , and set its value to 1.
Setting Parameters in the /etc/system File T o configure the qfe driver parameters for all SUNW,qfe devices in the system so that the parameter variables are always ef fective (even after r ebooting the system), enter the parameter variables in the /etc/system file.
These parameter values, described in “Driver Parameter V alues and Definitions” on page 26, are applicable to all SUNW,qfe devices on the system. See T able C–1 through T able C–8 for the descriptions of these parameters.
Setting ipg Driver Parameters Using a qfe.conf File 1. Obtain the hardware path names for the qfe devices in the device tree. T ypically the path names and the associated instance numbers will be pr esent in the /etc/path_to_inst file.
Name = SUNW,qfe Parent = /pci@1f,2000/pci@2 Unit-address = 3,1 1. Set the ipg1 and ipg2 parameters for the above four devices in the /kernel/drv/qfe.conf file.
APPENDIX D Running Diagnostics T ests This appendix describes how to test the Sun Quad FastEthernet PCI adapter with its FCode PROM selftest . Note - T o test the Sun Quad FastEthernet PCI adapter further , refer to the SunVTS User’s Guide that shipped with your operating system.
Running the Ethernet FCode Selftest DiagnosticRunning the Ethernet FCode Selftest Diagnostic T o run the ethernet diagnostics, you must first bring the system to a stop at the OpenBoot prompt after issuing a reset. If you do not reset the system, the diagnostic tests may cause the system to hang.
The following tests are run when the test command is executed: hme register MAC internal loopback External loopback 100 Mbps PHY loopback 10 Mbps PHY loopback If the test passes, you will see these messages: Hme register test --- succeeded.
