without auto-negotiation the link -will usually not operate unless both partners are configured to use the -same link mode. -.Lp -Auto-negotiation, when enabled, takes place by comparing the local capabilities -that have been advertised (which must also be supported by the local device), -with the capabilities that have been advertised by the link partner (peer). -. -The first of the following modes that is supported by both partners is -selected as the link negotiation result: -.Lp -.Bl -bullet -offset indent -compact -.It -10 Gbps (10gfdx) -.It -1000 Mbps full-duplex (1000fdx) -.It -1000 Mbps half-duplex (1000hdx) -.It -100 Mbps full-duplex (100fdx) -.It -100BASE-T4 (100T4) -.It -100 Mbps half-duplex (100hdx) -.It -10 Mbps full-duplex (10fdx) -.It -10 Mbps half-duplex (10hdx) -.El -.Lp -Advertisement of these modes can be enabled or disabled by setting the -appropriate -.Sy en_ -property in -.Xr dladm 1M . -.Lp -Auto-negotiation may also be disabled, by setting the -.Sy adv_autoneg_cap -property to 0. -In this case, the highest enabled link mode (using the above list) is -.Dq forced -for the link. -.Ss Flow Control -Link layer flow control is available on many modern devices, and is mandatory -for operation at 10 Gbps. -It requires that the link be auto-negotiated, and that the link be full-duplex, -in order to function. -.Lp -Flow control is applied when a receiver becomes congested. -In this case the receiver can send a special frame, called a pause frame, to -request its partner cease transmitting for a short period of time. -.Lp -Flow control can be said to be either symmetric, in which case both partners -can send and honor pause frames, or asymmetric, in which case one partner -may not transmit pause frames. -.Lp -The flow control mode used is driven by the -.Sy flowctrl -property. -It has the following meanings: -.Lp -.Bl -column -compact -offset indent Dv -.It \(dqno\(dq Ta Neither send, nor honor pause frames. -.It \(dqtx\(dq Ta Send pause frames, provided that the peer can support them, -but do not honor them. -.It \(dqrx\(dq Ta Receive and honor pause frames. -.It \(dqbi\(dq Ta Both send and receive (and honor) pause frames. -.El -.Lp -The statistics for flow control -.Po Sy adv_cap_pause , adv_cap_asmpause , lp_cap_pause , lp_cap_asmpause , -.Sy link_pause , -and -.Sy link_asmpause -.Pc -are based on the properties exchanged in the auto-negotiation and are -confusing as a result. -Administrators are advised to use the -.Sy flowctrl -property instead. -. -.Ss Jumbo Frames -The IEEE 802.3 standard specifies a standard frame size of 1518 bytes, -which includes a 4-byte frame checksum, a 14-byte header, and 1500 bytes -of payload. -Most devices support larger frame sizes than this, and when all possible parties -on the same local network can do so, it may be advantageous to choose a larger -frame size; 9000 bytes is the most common option, as it allows a transport layer -to convey 8 KB (8192) of data, while leaving room for various link, network, and -transport layer headers. -.Lp -Note that the use of frames carrying more than 1500 bytes of payload is -not standardized, even though it is common practice. -.Lp -The -.Sy mtu -property is used to configure the frame size. -Note that this is the size of the payload, and excludes the preamble, checksum, -and header. -It also excludes the tag for devices that support tagging (see -.Sx Virtual LANs -below). -.Lp -Care must be taken to ensure that all communication parties agree on the same -size, or communication may cease to function properly. -.Lp -Note that the -.Sy mtu -property refers to the link layer property. -It may be necessary to configure upper layer protocols such as IP to use a -different size when this changes. -See -.Xr ifconfig 1M . -. -.Ss Virtual LANs -Most devices support virtual LANs (and also priority control tagging) though -the use of a 4-byte tag inserted between the frame header and payload. -The details of configuration of this are covered in the -.Xr dladm 1M -manual. -. -.Ss Data Link Provider Interface (DLPI) Details -. -The correct method for applications to access Ethernet devices directly -is to use the DLPI. -See -.Xr dlpi 7P -and -.Xr libdlpi 3LIB -for further information. -.Lp -The following DLPI parameters are presented to applications. -.Bl -column -offset indent "Broadcast address" -.It Maximum SDU Ta 1500 (or larger, as determined by the Sy mtu No property.) -.It Minimum SDU Ta 0 -.It Address length Ta 6 -.It MAC type Ta Dv DL_ETHER -.It SAP length Ta \(mi2 -.It Service mode Ta Dv DL_CLDLS -.It Broadcast address Ta Li ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff No (6 bytes with all bits set) -.El -.Lp -Note that if the application binds to SAP of 0, then standard IEEE 802.3 -mode is assumed and the frame length is stored in place of the Ethernet type. -Frames that arrive with the type field set to 1500 or less, are delivered -to applications that bind to SAP 0. -.Lp -Ethernet drivers on the support both DLPI style 1 and style 2 operation. -Additionally, it is possible to configure provide -.Dq vanity -names to interfaces using the -.Xr dladm 1M -.Sy rename-link -subcommand. -Such vanity names are only accessible using DLPI style 1. -.Sh NOTES -There may be other mechanisms available to configure link layer properties. -Historically the -.Xr ndd 1M -command, and -.Xr driver.conf 4 -files could be used to do this. -These methods are deprecated in favor of -.Xr dladm 1M -properties. -. -.Sh INTERFACE STABILITY -When present, the statistics and properties presented here -are -.Sy Committed . -However, note that not every Ethernet device supports all of these, -and some devices may support additional statistics and properties. -.Lp -The DLPI and IEEE 802.3 itself are -.Sy Standard . -.Sh SEE ALSO -.Xr dladm 1M , -.Xr ifconfig 1M , -.Xr kstat 1M , -.Xr ndd 1M , -.Xr netstat 1M , -.Xr libdlpi 3LIB , -.Xr driver.conf 4 , -.Xr dlpi 7P -.Rs -.%T IEEE 802.3: Ethernet -.%Q IEEE Standards Association -.Re -.Rs -.%B Data Link Provider Interface (DLPI) -.%Q The Open Group -.%D 1997 -.Re -.Rs -.%B STREAMs Programming Guide -.%Q Sun Microsystems, Inc. -.%D January 2005 -.Re |
