Sun Microsystems Gigabit Ethernet MMF/UTP Adapter manual Sysctl -p ./sysctle1000.conf

1.Create a performance tuning script (for example, e1000_perf.sh), and edit this file to add the interface or device ID of Sun PCI-Express Dual Gigabit Ethernet Low-Profile adapter.

#!/bin/bash

echo "configuring network performance"

#set mmrbc to 4k reads, modify only Sun PCI-E Dual Gigabit device IDs

#set the MTU (max transmission unit) - it requires your switch and

#clients to change too and should support the value you provide here.

#Also set the txqueuelen on your SSun PCI-E Dual Gigabit adapter.

#If your adapter was configured as eth2, you would the following: ifconfig eth2 mtu 16110 txqueuelen 1000 up

#call the sysctl utility to modify /proc/sys entries; update the

#location of the sysctl_e1000.conf file as appropriate

sysctl -p ./sysctl_e1000.conf
