.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm liquidio
|
|
.Nd "Cavium 10Gb/25Gb Ethernet driver for the FreeBSD operating system"
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
To compile this driver into the kernel,
|
|
place the following line in your
|
|
kernel configuration file:
|
|
.Bd -ragged -offset indent
|
|
.Cd "device lio"
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Alternatively, to load the driver as a
|
|
module at boot time, place the following line in
|
|
.Xr loader.conf 5 :
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
if_lio_load="YES"
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver provides support for 23XX 10Gb/25Gb Ethernet adapters.
|
|
The driver supports Jumbo Frames, Transmit/Receive checksum
|
|
offload, TCP segmentation offload (TSO), Large Receive Offload (LRO),
|
|
VLAN tag insertion/extraction, VLAN checksum offload,
|
|
VLAN TSO, and Receive Side Steering (RSS)
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Support for Jumbo Frames is provided via the interface MTU setting.
|
|
Selecting an MTU larger than 1500 bytes with the
|
|
.Xr ifconfig 8
|
|
utility configures the adapter to receive and transmit Jumbo Frames.
|
|
The maximum MTU size for Jumbo Frames is 16000.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
For more information on configuring this device, see ifconfig(8).
|
|
.Sh HARDWARE
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver supports the following cards:
