Sun Microsystems 6U manual Setting Parameters Using the qfe.conf File

Setting Parameters Using the qfe.conf File

To set the qfe driver parameters for qfe devices so that the parameter variables stay in effect after rebooting the system, create a qfe.conf file in your system’s /kernel/drv directory.

You can also create a qfe.conf file when you need to set parameters for a specific qfe device in the system. The parameters you set are read and write parameters listed in “Device Driver Parameter Values and Definitions” on page 59, and in TABLE B-9.

TABLE B-9qfe.conf File Parameters

qfe Driver Parameter	Description
ipg1	Interpacket gap delay parameter
ipg2	Interpacket gap delay parameter
