.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm ixgb
|
|
.Nd "Intel(R) PRO/10GbE 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 ixgb"
|
|
.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_ixgb_load="YES"
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver provides support for PCI Gigabit Ethernet adapters based on
|
|
the Intel 82597EX Ethernet controller chips.
|
|
The driver supports Transmit/Receive checksum offload
|
|
and Jumbo Frames.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
For questions related to hardware requirements,
|
|
refer to the documentation supplied with your Intel PRO/10GbE adapter.
|
|
All hardware requirements listed apply to use with
|
|
.Fx .
|
|
.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 16114.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This driver version supports VLANs.
|
|
For information on enabling VLANs, see
|
|
.Xr ifconfig 8 .
|
|

|
|
.Nm
|
