TABLE 4-11

TABLE 4-11Read-Only Link Partner Capabilities (Continued)

Parameter

Description

 

 

 

lp_cap_10hdx

0

= No 10 Mbit/sec half-duplex transmission

 

1

= 10 Mbit/sec half-duplex

lp_cap_asm_pause

0

= Not asymmetric pause capable

 

1

= Asymmetric pause towards link partner capability

lp_cap_pause

0

= Not symmetric pause capable

 

1

= Symmetric pause capable

 

 

 

If the link partner is not capable of autonegotiation (when lp_autoneg_cap is 0),

the remaining information described in is not relevant and the parameter value = 0.

If the link partner is capable of autonegotiation (when lp_autoneg_cap is 1), then the speed and mode information is displayed when you use autonegotiation and the link partner capabilities.

TABLE 4-12describes the netstat -k transmit and receive parameters:

TABLE 4-12Transmit and Receive Parameters

Parameter

Description

 

 

 

Number of Physical layer re-initializations every time you change

xcvr_inits

link parameters using NDD this increments.

rev_id

Revision ID of the GigaSwift Ethernet device useful for recognition

 

of device being used in the field.

xcvr_addr

GMII/MII Physical layer device address for management interface.

xcvr_id

GMII/MII Physical layer device Identification Decimal copy of MII

 

registers 2 and 3.

lb_mode

Copy of the Loopback mode the device is in, if any.

qos_mode

When zero, the TX queues operate in a simple round robin

 

queueing scheme, based on TCP/UDP destination port number. If

 

set the TX queues operate in a scheme designed to provide VLAN

 

priorities.

tx_starts

Number of times that the driver attempted to transmit a packet.

tx_dma_bind_fail Number of times a page table entry was not available to allow the driver to map the kernel memory to device accessible memory for

 

transmission.

tx_queue0

Number of packets queued for transmission on the first hardware

 

transmit queue.
