NAME
       nwmgr_iether:  nwmgr  - network interface management command for iether
       driver

SYNOPSIS

       all

       number]

   Remarks
       The and commands are deprecated.	 These commands will be removed	 in  a
       future  HP-UX  release.	 HP  recommends the use of replacement command
       nwmgr(1M) to perform all network interface-related tasks.

DESCRIPTION
       The program is the unified command to administer all LAN and RDMA-based
       interfaces  of HP-UX.  General information about the command as a whole
       can be found in the manual page nwmgr(1M).  This manual page  describes
       as applied to the driver.

       The  driver  is	one of the HP-UX drivers that manages Gigabit Ethernet
       interfaces, both copper	(1000Base-T)  and  fiber  (1000Base-SX).  Each
       interface  has several attributes.  Some, such as MTU, are configurable
       while others are read-only.  In general, each attribute can have a cer‐
       tain  value in the running system (which is its current value), another
       value in the configuration file that  stores  data  across  boots  (its
       saved  value)  and  a  HP-supplied  value that is applied by the driver
       after boot (its default value) before the saved value is	 applied.  The
       list of attributes is documented in the section named Attributes below.

       The  command can be used on interfaces to display information (with the
       option, which is the default), modify settings (the option), reset  the
       interface  or its statistics (the option), and to diagnose link connec‐
       tivity (the option).

       Operations other than require the authorization.	 For more  information
       about authorizations and Role-based Access Control, see rbac(5).

       The  settings  of the interfaces on the system can be saved to the con‐
       figuration file so that these settings will take effect across reboots.

       The output in each case can be obtained in either  human-readable  form
       (which is the default) or in a script-friendly parseable form (with the
       or option).  The format for script-friendly output is described in  the
       manpage nwmgr(1M).

       It  is  guaranteed  that	 any  change  in  the scriptable output across
       releases will contain only additions, never modifications or deletions.
       The human-readable format can change across releases, including modifi‐
       cations and deletions, though the changes can be expected to be	incre‐
       mental.

       The usage is explained in greater detail below.	The output format that
       is described is the human-readable one; references  to  the  scriptable
       output are made as necessary.

   Operations
       The command provides the following operations for the iether interface.

       Operation to perform Critical Resource Analysis on the interface.

       Operation to diagnose/test link connectivity.

       Operation to get/display interface settings.

       Operation to display help information.

       Operation to reset interface or statistics.

       Operation to set the attributes of the interface.

   Options
       The command provides the following options for the interface.  For more
       information about these options, refer to nwmgr(1M).

       Operation to assign attributes for the operation.

	      Attributes that can be used for interfaces are described in  the
	      section below.

       Specifies  the  target  interface  on which the operation is to be per‐
       formed.

	      For the target interface is of the form:

	      where PPA is the physical point of attachment.

       Specifies the configuration from which the operation will copy data.
	      The option takes or as argument.

       Specifies how many test frame to send during a
	      operation.  The default is 1.

       Specifies a generic target qualifier was used to specify a subsystem
	      specific target qualifier.

	      The arguments supported for are and

	      Provides more information on the instance of the
		      subsystem; such as, the hardware path, feature capabili‐
		      ties,  current  feature  settings,  the  assigned	 NMID,
		      speed, and MTU of the card.

	      Provides vital product data (VPD) which is a standardize set  of
	      read-only
		      properties for an interface, including Manufactured Data
		      for the NIC and the firmware versions.

       Specifies the target subsystem for the operation.
	      For subsystem, the option argument will always be

       Specifies that the operation has to be performed on the saved  configu‐
       ration (per
	      sistent store).

       Display the output in script parseable format.

       Specifies that the operation applies to the statistics of the target.

       Option to display more details in the output.

   Attributes
       The valid attributes for the interface are:

       Ethernet MAC address of the remote interface. Used with the operation.

       Diagnostics Threshold:
	      Inbound  packet  rate  threshold below which CKO diagnostics are
	      run.

	       0 A value of zero indicates the diagnostics are disabled.

	      -1 A value of -1 means that the driver  chooses  an  appropriate
		 threshold.

	      Minimum: -1
	      Maximum: 100000
	      Default: 0

       Ethernet MAC Address.
	      The default value is the factory MAC address.

       Maximum Ethernet payload size, in bytes.
	      MTU above 1500 is allowed only when the speed is 1 Gbps.

	      Minimum: 257
	      Maximum: 9000
	      Default: 1500

       Specifies the packet size in bytes of each test frame.
	      The  default  packet  size is current MTU-3.  Only valid for the
	      operation.

       Max Recv Coalesce Ticks:
	      Maximum time for the NIC to wait after receiving a frame	before
	      it raises an interrupt.

	      NOTE: Modifying this configuration parameter to non-default val‐
	      ues is no longer recommended for PCI-X cards  and	 IS  NOT  sup‐
	      ported for PCIe cards.

	      Minimum: 0
	      Max: 65535
	      Default: 0

       Max Recv Buffers:
	      Maximum  number  of  receive descriptors for the NIC to coalesce
	      before it raises an interrupt.

	      NOTE: Modifying this configuration parameter to non-default val‐
	      ues  is  no  longer  recommended for PCI-X cards and IS NOT sup‐
	      ported for PCIe cards.

	      Minimum: 1
	      Maximum: 63
	      Default: 1

       Receive Checksum Offload:
	      Hardware TCP/UDP (IPv4) receive checksum offload.

	      Values: Off, On
	      Default: Off

       Receive Flow Control:
	      Ability of  the  interface  to  receive  Ethernet	 Flow  control
	      frames.

	      Values: Off, On
	      Default: On (case insensitive).

       Speed, Duplex and Autonegotiation:
	      Actual  values  of speed, duplex and autonegotiation if the link
	      is up; the configured values otherwise.

	      Note that, for 1000Base-SX, the speed is always fixed at 1 Gbps,
	      and  the duplex is always Full.  Only the autonegotiation can be
	      turned on or off.	 So, the valid values to set for speed in  the
	      command line for 1000Base-SX are and (case insensitive).

	      For  1000Base-T,	it is essential that the link partner have the
	      same speed, duplex and autonegotiation settings as the NIC being
	      configured.   The	 speed	can  be forced to 10 or 100 Mbps, with
	      Full or Half Duplex, with autonegotiation off.   The  speed  can
	      also  be	forced	to  1000 Mbps with autonegotiation on and Full
	      Duplex only.  This is done by setting speed to one of  or	 (case
	      insensitive).

	      is the option used for auto-negotiation purpose.	Here the speed
	      of the link depends upon the link partners ability and its speed
	      setting.

	      In  summary,  the	 valid	values to set for speed in the command
	      line for 1000Base-T are: and

	      The speed value can take one of three formats.   In  the	human-
	      readable format, it is of the form:

	      [speed

	      Example:
	      Note that the speed and duplex might not be present in some sit‐
	      uations.

	      In the script-friendly output, the speed value is of the form:

	      [speed

	      Examples:
	      Note that the speed and duplex are optional  in  the  scriptable
	      output also: they might not be present in some situations.

	      In the configuration file, there is an additional twist, because
	      there are separate variables for speed-duplex  and  autonegotia‐
	      tion.  For 1000Base-T, the HP_IETHER variable can contain one of
	      the  values  and	(same  as  the	command	 line  values).	   The
	      HP_IETHER_AUTONEG variable is of no relevance.

	      For  1000Base-SX,	 the  HP_IETHER_SPEED is irrelevant, while the
	      HP_IETHER_AUTONEG has values of either Off (same	as  0)	or  On
	      (same as 1), indicating autonegotiation being off or on, respec‐
	      tively.

	      Note that speeds below 1 Gbps are allowed only if	 MTU  is  1500
	      bytes or less.

       Max Send Coalesce Ticks:
	      Maximum time for the NIC to wait after sending a frame before it
	      raises an interrupt.

	      NOTE: Modifying this configuration parameter to non-default val‐
	      ues  is  no  longer  recommended for PCI-X cards and IS NOT sup‐
	      ported for PCIe cards.

	      Minimum: 0
	      Maximum: 65535
	      Default: 150

       Max Send Buffers:
	      Maximum number of send  descriptors  for	the  NIC  to  coalesce
	      before it raises an interrupt.

	      NOTE: Modifying this configuration parameter to non-default val‐
	      ues is no longer recommended for PCI-X cards  and	 IS  NOT  sup‐
	      ported for PCIe cards.

	      Minimum: 1
	      Maximum: 63
	      Default: 1

       Transmit Checksum Offload:
	      Hardware TCP/UDP (IPv4) transmit checksum offload.

	      Values: Off, On
	      Default:	Off  Virtual  MTU  for TCP Segmentation Offload (TSO).
	      Setting it to zero disables TSO.	Setting it to a non-zero value
	      enables TSO.

	      Values: 0, 32160
	      Default: 0

       Interrupt Throttle Mode. Use this option to change the interrupt
	      spacing.	Set it to -1 to enable automatic dynamic tuning in the
	      driver. Set it to the value 'n'(between  0  and  65535)  for  an
	      interrupt spacing of (n *256) nanoseconds.

	      Minimum : -1
	      Maximum : 65535
	      Default : -1

       Asset tag is a alpha-numeric string in Vital Product Data(VPD).
	      System  administrator can modify asset tag in the VPD using this
	      option.

	      The maximum length of asset tag is:

	      6	 characters for PCI-X interfaces.
	      19 characters for PCIe interfaces.

       Use this option to limit the transmit buffer size limit to 512 bytes.
	      This option is applicable only for PCI-X cards and is  not  sup‐
	      ported  on PCIe interfaces.  Use value 1 to enable and 0 to dis‐
	      able.

	      Values: 0, 1
	      Default: 0

USAGE
   Display Network Interfaces
       This command displays netowrk interface without any arguments.

	      The command without  any	arguments  displays  all  the  network
	      interfaces  in  the  system,  including  physical LAN interfaces
	      (NICs), virtual LAN interfaces (VLANs and APA  aggregates),  and
	      RDMA-based interfaces.

   View Basic Properties of One or More Interfaces
       The following command displays basic properties of interfaces

	      The  form	 without the verbose option displays a table, with one
	      row for each interface that gets listed.	 If  an	 interface  is
	      specified	 as a target with the option, only that interface gets
	      displayed.  If the option is specified,  all  iether  interfaces
	      are  displayed.  The properties displayed for each interface are
	      explained in nwmgr(1M).

	      Note that the operation is the default, so the option  need  not
	      be specified explicitly.

	      The  verbose  option  changes the output to include more details
	      about each interface that is displayed,  and  also  changes  the
	      format  to be line-oriented, with each line describing one prop‐
	      erty.  The additional properties displayed  for  each  interface
	      include  not  only  those	 described  in	nwmgr(1M) but also the
	      speed,  duplex  and  autonegotiation  of	the  interface.	  More
	      details can be found in the section.

   View Interface Statistics
       The following command displays interface statistics.

	      The option can take zero or more of the following arguments:
	      The  MIB statistics of the interface are displayed.  This is the
	      default if no argument is provided to

	      The extended MIB statistics are displayed.
		     This overrides the argument, if present.

	      Displays the subsystem-specific statistics, which can vary  from
	      one
		     driver to another.

	      Displays	both  extended	MIB  statistics and subsystem-specific
	      statistics;
		     in other words, it is  equivalent	to  It	overrides  any
		     other arguments that may be present.

	      It  is possible to give more than one argument to the option, as
	      a comma-separated list.  For example, displays both  the	speci‐
	      fied sets of statistics.

   View Interface Attributes
       These commands can be used to view interface attributes.

	      These  commands  display	the  current  value  of either all the
	      attributes of the interface (when the keyword is	specified)  or
	      the  specified  attributes (when they are listed by name).  Each
	      attribute is listed on a separate line as a name-value pair.

   View Interface Details
       These commands display interface details.

	      This form displays interface-specific properties that are infor‐
	      mational, often not configurable and subject to variation across
	      drivers.

	      It first displays the verbose listing for the interface; same as
	      what is shown by:

	      It  then	displays PCI-related properties such as the PCI Device
	      ID.  It also displays the current driver state for the specified
	      interface.

   View Interface's Vital Product Data
       These commands display the interface's vital product data.

	      The  Vital Product Data is a standardized set of read-only prop‐
	      erties for an interface, including  Manufactured	Data  for  the
	      NIC, and the firmware versions.

   Set Current Values of Attributes
       These  commands	can  be	 used to set current values of attributes with
       user specified values.

	      You can set current values of attributes by specifying the  val‐
	      ues with these commands.

   Save Attribute Values as Default Values for an Interface
       These commands can be used to set current attribute values from default
       values.

	      Save the current values of all attributes of an interface in the
	      configuration file

	      This  form  stores  the  current	value  of each attribute of an
	      interface in the configuration file, so that the interface  con‐
	      figuration is preserved across boots.  The user can also run the
	      start-up script later by hand to apply  the  configuration  file
	      values to the running kernel, by typing:

	      This feature allows a user to experiment with the current values
	      and, when a desired configuration is achieved, preserve  it  for
	      posterity.

   Set Current Attribute Values from Default
       These  commands sets the current values for attributes from the default
       values.

	      The current values of all attributes  of	an  interface  (if  is
	      specified) or the specified attributes (if the names are listed)
	      are set to be equal to their respective  default	values.	  This
	      can  be  useful  in rolling all the changes made to an interface
	      since the time the system booted.

   Reset an Interface
       These commands reset an interface.

	      The interface is subjected to a PCI reset, which clears all pre‐
	      vious  state, including the interface statistics.	 The interface
	      is then re-programmed with the attribute values that  were  cur‐
	      rent before the reset.  Promiscuous mode and multicast addresses
	      are preserved across the reset.

	      While the reset is in progress, the  data	 traffic  through  the
	      interface	 is  interrupted.   So, the command automatically per‐
	      forms a Critical Resource Analysis (CRA) to see if the interface
	      is data-critical; in other words, any other resource depends for
	      its functionality on the availability of the interface.  If  so,
	      the reset is not performed.

	      The reset can be forced, even if the interface is data-critical,
	      by using the option. It is possible for an interface to be  sys‐
	      tem-critical;  in	 other words, the health of the system depends
	      on the availability of the interface.  In that case,  the	 reset
	      will not be performed even if the option is specified.

   Reset Statistics for an Interface
       The following commands resets the statistics for an interface.

	      The  data	 traffic  statistics  for  an interface are cleared to
	      zero.  This includes the byte count and packet count for inbound
	      and  outbound  traffic.  Other aspects of the interface are left
	      unmodified.

   Diagnose Link Connectivity
       This command is run to diagnose link connectivity.

       number]

       number]

	      Link connectivity at the data link layer is checked  by  sending
	      IEEE  XID	 test  frames to the specified destination MAC address
	      and counting the replies.

	      The option specifies how many test frames to send;  the  default
	      is 1.

	      The attribute specifies the size of each test frame; the default
	      is 100 bytes.

	      The attribute  specifies	how  many  seconds  to	wait  for  the
	      acknowledgement of each test frame; the default is 5 seconds.

RETURN VALUES
	 0  The command returns 0 on success.

       <>0  On	failure,  the  command returns values described in the section
	    below.  section below.

ERRORS
       Attempt to set a read-only attribute.

       The interface is presently inaccessible.
		      This is usually because the interface is part of an  APA
		      aggregate,  which	 prevents  setting  attributes	on the
		      interface.

       One or more of the attributes or options is invalid for the task.

       Memory allocation failed. This could be a transient condition.

       Operation or feature is not supported.

       The target interface could not be accessed.

       The user lacks the authorization
		      which is required for this operation.

       The specified values of one or more attributes was less than the	 mini‐
       mum or
		      more than the maximum.
