SGI®
A line similar to the following should appear, where N is the number of the adapter:
10 Gigabit Ethernet: xgN, module 001c02, 66 MHz PCI bus 2 slot 1
For example, the first adapter would appear as xg1:
10 Gigabit Ethernet: xg1, module 001c02, 66 MHz PCI bus 2 slot 1
Linux Adapter Recognition Verification
Unlike IRIX, under Linux all Ethernet adapters all share the prefix ethN.
To verify that the adapter has been recognized, do the following:
1. Use the lspci command to ensure that the device has been recognized:
[root@linux root]# /sbin/lspci
....
0011:01:01.0 Ethernet controller: S2io Inc. Xframe 10 Gigabit Ethernet
Note: At this point (before the module is loaded), the /proc/net/dev file will not display the device.
2.Load the s2io module:
[root@linux root]# insmod s2io
The device will now appear in the /proc/net/dev file:
[root@linux root]# cat /proc/net/dev grep eth1
eth1: | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | .... |
[root@linux root]#
The device also appears in ifconfig output as well.
To make this module load at system boot time, enter the following line into the modules.conf file:
alias eth1 s2io
3. Use the ifconfig command to show the new ethN interface. For example:
[root@linux root]# ifconfig eth1
eth1 | Link encap:Ethernet | HWaddr 08:00:69:14:72:AD |
| BROADCAST MULTICAST | MTU:1500 Metric:1 |
11 |
