Sun Microsystems CP3260 manual Downloading and Installing SunVTS Software

The NIU (Network Interface Unit) driver configuration file, nxge.conf, might need to be modified to employ the proper port configurations. The nxge.conf file is located in the /platform/sun4v/kernel/drv directory. The following examples show the proper entries for each switch configuration. These entries are additional to any other configuration parameters set in the nxge.conf file.

Example 1: If Sun Netra CP3240 10-GbE switches are used in Slot 7 and Slot 8, the nxge.conf file should have the following entries:

name = "SUNW,niusl" parent = "/niu@80" unit-address = "0" phy-type = "xgsd"; name = "SUNW,niusl" parent = "/niu@80" unit-address = "1" phy-type = "xgsd";

Example 2: If Sun Netra CP3140 1-GbE switches are used in Slot 7 and Slot 8, the nxge.conf file should have the following entries:

name = "SUNW,niusl" parent = "/niu@80" unit-address = "0" phy-type = "gsd"; name = "SUNW,niusl" parent = "/niu@80" unit-address = "1" phy-type = "gsd";

Example 3: If a Sun Netra CP3140 1-GbE switch is used in Slot 7 and a Sun Netra CP3240 10-GbE switch in Slot 8, the nxge.conf file should have the following entries:

name = "SUNW,niusl" parent = "/niu@80" unit-address = "0" phy-type = "gsd"; name = "SUNW,niusl" parent = "/niu@80" unit-address = "1" phy-type = "xgsd";

Example 4: If a Sun Netra CP3240 10-GbE switch is used in Slot 7 and a Sun Netra CP3140 1-GbE switch is used in Slot 8, the nxge.conf file should have the following entries:

name = "SUNW,niusl" parent = "/niu@80" unit-address = "0" phy-type = "xgsd"; name = "SUNW,niusl" parent = "/niu@80" unit-address = "1" phy-type = "gsd";
