Installing the Driver Software
1Files and Directories on the CD-ROM
Menu similar to the following displays
Select the packages you want to install
# showrev -p grep
Verifying Patches
Patch version should be -07 or greater
Patch version should be -05 or greater
Patch version should be -13 or greater
Save the filler panel screw for Step
Installing the Adapter Without Dynamic Reconfiguration
To Install the Adapter
1Connecting the Fiber Optic Cable
2Cat-5 Twisted-Pair Cable
To Verify the Installation
Ok cd /pci@1f,0/pci@1/network@4
List the network devices on your system
Ok show-nets
Ok .properties
View the.properties file for a list of device properties
Ok setenv local-mac-address? true
Setting the local-mac-addressProperty
Phy-typewill have its value assigned as follows
Ok boot -r
Rebooting the System
Ok setenv boot-device /pci@1f,2000/pci@1/network@4
To Install an Adapter in a Dynamic Reconfiguration System
Installing the Adapter With Dynamic Reconfiguration
States and conditions should be
# cfgadm
# cfgadm -c disconnect sysctrl03
# cfgadm -v -c configure sysctrl#slot#
# cfgadm -c disconnect sysctrl#slot#
Reconfigure the devices on the adapter
Configure the adapter and slot
# drvconfig devlinks disks ports tapes
Connect the adapter and slot
Page
Use the ifconfig command to setup the adapter’s ce interface
Configuring the Network Host Files
# ifconfig ce0 plumb ipaddress up
Export/root/clientname
To Set Up a GigaSwift Ethernet Port on a Diskless Client
# cat /etc/hosts
Edit the hosts in the diskless client’s root directory
Network Configuration
# cd /cdrom/cdrom0/GigaSwiftEthernet/Packages # ls SUNWce
# grep clientname /etc/bootparams
Find the root directory of the client system
# shutdown -i0 -g0 -y
Use the shutdown command to display the OpenBoot ok prompt
Shut down and halt the client system
# pkginfo grep SUNWce
Proceed with the Solaris operating environment installation
Ok boot /pci@1f,4000/network@4speed=100,duplex=full
Ok boot device-pathspeed=s,duplex=d,link-clock=c,promiscuous
Booting Over the GigaSwift Ethernet Network

Setting Parameters Using the ndd Utility
Setting ce Driver Parameters
Use the instance number to select the device
To Specify Device Instances for the ndd Utility
Device remains selected until you change the selection
# ndd -set /dev/ce instance instance#
Ndd utility then prompts you for the name of the parameter
To modify a parameter value, use the -setoption
# ndd -set /dev/ce parameter value
# ndd /dev/ce parameter
Setting the Autonegotiation Mode
# ndd -set /dev/ce adv-autoneg-cap
Setting Parameters Using the ce.conf File
Set the adv-autoneg-capparameter to
# grep ce /etc/pathtoinst
To Set Driver Parameters Using a ce.conf File
Second line in the previous example
Third line in the previous example
Usability Enhancements to the Driver
Save the ce.conf file
# ndd -set /dev/hme instance
Then you had to get the link status
GigaSwift Ethernet Driver Operating Statistics
# ndd -get /dev/hme link-status
# kstat cen grep linkup
10Read-Only ce Device Capabilities
11Read-Only Link Partner Capabilities
Reporting the Link Partner Capabilities
11describes the read-only link partner capabilities
12Transmit and Receive Parameters
12describes the netstat -k transmit and receive parameters
12Transmit and Receive Parameters
# kstat Ce0
Code Example 4-1Output from kstat Command
# netstat -k ce0
# kstat ce0
# kstat ce0
# kstat ce0 grep lp
Use the kstat command to discover link partner capabilities
# kstat ce0 grep link
Use the kstat command to discover link settings
