SUMMARY: Configuring bge.conf

Hi,

My original question

----8<----

The bge inferface (V210) can be forced to a certain speed and duplex
via two methodes: ndd and bge.conf

NDD       Creating a script in /etc/rc2.d/S68net_tune
            #!/sbin/sh
            # /etc/rc2.d/S68net-tune
            PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
            # Force bge0 to 100fdx autoneg off
            ndd -set /dev/bge0 adv_1000fdx_cap 0
            ndd -set /dev/bge0 adv_1000hdx_cap 0
            ndd -set /dev/bge0 adv_100fdx_cap 1
            ndd -set /dev/bge0 adv_100hdx_cap 0
            ndd -set /dev/bge0 adv_10fdx_cap 0
            ndd -set /dev/bge0 adv_10hdx_cap 0
            ndd -set /dev/bge0 adv_autoneg_cap 0

bge.conf  Adding the following line to the file
            /platform/sun4u/kernel/drv/bge.conf

            adv_autoneg_cap=0 adv_1000fdx_cap=0 adv_1000hdx_cap=0 \
            adv_100fdx_cap=1 adv_100hdx_cap=0 adv_10fdx_cap=0 \
            adv_10hdx_cap=0;

However, using bge.conf will force all instances of bge to the
speed/duplex specified in the file.

My question:

Is it possible to do this per instance within the bge.conf file
or can it only be done via NDD?

I know it is possible for ce instances within the file
/platform/sun4u/kernel/drv/ce.conf file using three
parameters: name, parent, and unit-address.

name="pci108e,abba" parent="/pci@21c,700000/pci@1" unit-address="0" \
adv_autoneg_cap=0 adv_1000fdx_cap=0 adv_1000hdx_cap=0 \
adv_100fdx_cap=1 adv_100hdx_cap=0 adv_100T4_cap=0 adv_10fdx_cap=0 \
adv_10hdx_cap=0;

I will summarize.

The summary:

A Sun enigneer came back with the following.

It is possible, and the syntax is very similar. Search /etc/path_to_inst
on your system for some of the magic numbers; on mine they were:

     $ grep bge /etc/path_to_inst
     "/pci@1f,700000/network@2" 0 "bge"
     "/pci@1f,700000/network@2,1" 1 "bge"
     "/pci@1d,700000/network@2" 2 "bge"
     "/pci@1d,700000/network@2,1" 3 "bge"

 From this, the "parent" value is everything before "/network@" and
the "unit-address" is everything after it. Also, the "name" for bge 
should be either "bge" or "pci108e,1648".

So, the /platform/sun4u/kernel/drv/bge.conf file should be:

    # interface bge0
    name="bge" parent="/pci@1f,700000" unit-address="2" \
    adv_autoneg_cap=0 adv_1000fdx_cap=0 adv_1000hdx_cap=0 \
    adv_100fdx_cap=1 adv_100hdx_cap=0 adv_100T4_cap=0 adv_10fdx_cap=0 \
    adv_10hdx_cap=0;

    # interface bge1
    name="bge" parent="/pci@1f,700000" unit-address="2,1" \
    adv_autoneg_cap=0 adv_1000fdx_cap=0 adv_1000hdx_cap=0 \
    adv_100fdx_cap=1 adv_100hdx_cap=0 adv_100T4_cap=0 adv_10fdx_cap=0 \
    adv_10hdx_cap=0;

    # interface bge2
    name="bge" parent="/pci@1d,700000" unit-address="2" \
    adv_autoneg_cap=0 adv_1000fdx_cap=0 adv_1000hdx_cap=0 \
    adv_100fdx_cap=1 adv_100hdx_cap=0 adv_100T4_cap=0 adv_10fdx_cap=0 \
    adv_10hdx_cap=0;

    # interface bge3
    name="bge" parent="/pci@1d,700000" unit-address="2,1" \
    adv_autoneg_cap=0 adv_1000fdx_cap=0 adv_1000hdx_cap=0 \
    adv_100fdx_cap=1 adv_100hdx_cap=0 adv_100T4_cap=0 adv_10fdx_cap=0 \
    adv_10hdx_cap=0;
