Configuring Driver Parameters

Two new capabilities have been added to the parameters you can change using the ndd utility: nic_tracing and link_negotiation. The following procedure reflects these changes and replaces the section by the same name in the Sun GigabitEthernet PCI Adaper 1.0 User’s Guide.

To Temporarily Change a Parameter

Use the ndd(1M) utility to temporarily change a parameter. This change is lost when you reboot the system.

To access the parameters you can change using ndd type the following command:

#ndd /dev/vge '?'

The system returns the following:

?

 

stat_ticks

(read and write)

send_max_coalesced_bds

(read and write)

recv_max_coalesced_bds

(read and write)

nic_tracing

(read and write)

link_negotiation

(read and write)
