NAME
       igbvf - Intel Gigabit Ethernet Virtual Function Driver

SYNOPSIS
       /dev/igbvf*

DESCRIPTION
       The  igbvf Gigabit Ethernet driver is a multi-threaded, loadable, clon‐
       able, GLD-based STREAMS driver supporting the Data Link Provider Inter‐
       face, dlpi(7P), on the Virtual Function of Intel 82576 Gigabit Ethernet
       controller.

       The igbvf driver functions  include  Virtual  Function  initialization,
       frame  transmit	and  receive,  promiscuous  and multicast support, and
       error recovery and reporting.

       The igbvf driver works on the Virtual Function of Intel 82576   Gigabit
       Ethernet controller only when the SRIOV capability of the controller is
       enabled.

   Configuration
       The igbvf driver is managed by  the  dladm(1M)  command	line  utility,
       which  allows  VLANs  to	 be  defined on top of igbvf instances and for
       igbvf instances to be aggregated. See dladm(1M) for more details.

       The igbvf driver does not support link configuration. The link configu‐
       ration  is controlled by the Physical Function of the 82576 controller,
       which is supported by the igb(7D) driver.
