Introduction -=============== - -This Linux driver supports all Neterion's X3100 series 10 GbE PCIe I/O -Virtualized Server adapters. - -The X3100 series supports four modes of operation, configurable via -firmware: - - - Single function mode - - Multi function mode - - SRIOV mode - - MRIOV mode - -The functions share a 10GbE link and the pci-e bus, but hardly anything else -inside the ASIC. Features like independent hw reset, statistics, bandwidth/ -priority allocation and guarantees, GRO, TSO, interrupt moderation etc are -supported independently on each function. - -(See below for a complete list of features supported for both IPv4 and IPv6) - -2. Features supported -===================== - -i) Single function mode (up to 17 queues) - -ii) Multi function mode (up to 17 functions) - -iii) PCI-SIG's I/O Virtualization - - - Single Root mode: v1.0 (up to 17 functions) - - Multi-Root mode: v1.0 (up to 17 functions) - -iv) Jumbo frames - - X3100 Series supports MTU up to 9600 bytes, modifiable using - ip command. - -v) Offloads supported: (Enabled by default) - - - Checksum offload (TCP/UDP/IP) on transmit and receive paths - - TCP Segmentation Offload (TSO) on transmit path - - Generic Receive Offload (GRO) on receive path - -vi) MSI-X: (Enabled by default) - - Resulting in noticeable performance improvement (up to 7% on certain - platforms). - -vii) NAPI: (Enabled by default) - - For better Rx interrupt moderation. - -viii)RTH (Receive Traffic Hash): (Enabled by default) - - Receive side steering for better scaling. - -ix) Statistics - - Comprehensive MAC-level and software statistics displayed using - "ethtool -S" option. - -x) Multiple hardware queues: (Enabled by default) - - Up to 17 hardware based transmit and receive data channels, with - multiple steering options (transmit multiqueue enabled by default). - -3) Configurable driver parameters: ----------------------------------- - -i) max_config_dev - Specifies maximum device functions to be enabled. - - Valid range: 1-8 - -ii) max_config_port - Specifies number of ports to be enabled. - - Valid range: 1,2 - - Default: 1 - -iii) max_config_vpath - Specifies maximum VPATH(s) configured for each device function. - - Valid range: 1-17 - -iv) vlan_tag_strip - Enables/disables vlan tag stripping from all received tagged frames that - are not replicated at the internal L2 switch. - - Valid range: 0,1 (disabled, enabled respectively) - - Default: 1 - -v) addr_learn_en - Enable learning the mac address of the guest OS interface in - virtualization environment. - - Valid range: 0,1 (disabled, enabled respectively) - - Default: 0 |
