Sun Microsystems GigaSwift Ethernet Adapter Network Card User Manual


 
56 Sun GigaSwift Ethernet Adapter Installation and Users Guide August 2004
If the link partner is not capable of autonegotiation (when lp_autoneg_cap is 0),
the remaining information described in
TABLE 4-12 is not relevant and the parameter
value = 0.
If the link partner is capable of autonegotiation (when lp_autoneg_cap is 1), then
the speed and mode information is displayed when you use autonegotiation and the
link partner capabilities.
TABLE 4-13 describes the netstat -k transmit and receive parameters:
TABLE 4-13 Transmit and Receive Parameters
Parameter Description
xcvr_inits Number of physical layer re-initializations every time you change
link parameters using NDD this increments.
rev_id Revision ID of the GigaSwift Ethernet device useful for recognition
of device being used in the field.
xcvr_addr GMII/MII physical layer device address for management interface.
xcvr_id GMII/MII physical layer device Identification Decimal copy of MII
registers 2 and 3.
lb_mode Copy of the Loopback mode the device is in, if any.
qos_mode When zero, the TX queues operate in a simple round robin
queueing scheme, based on TCP/UDP destination port number. If
set the TX queues operate in a scheme designed to provide VLAN
priorities.
tx_starts Number of times that the driver attempted to transmit a packet.
tx_dma_bind_fail Number of times a page table entry was not available to enable the
driver to map the kernel memory to device accessible memory for
transmission.
tx_queue0 Number of packets queued for transmission on the first hardware
transmit queue.
tx_queue1 Number of packets queued for transmission on the second
hardware transmit queue.
tx_queue2 Number of packets queued for transmission on the third hardware
transmit queue.
tx_queue3 Number of packets queued for transmission on the fourth hardware
transmit queue.
tx_max_pend Maximum number of transmits pending on any of the four queues.
rx_hdr_pkts Number of packets received that were less than 256 bytes.
rx_mtu_pkts Number of packets received that were greater than 256 bytes and
less than 1514 bytes.
