NAME
       nwmgr - network interface management command for icxgbe driver

SYNOPSIS

       PPA |

       number]

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 the HP-UX driver that manages 10 Gigabit  Ethernet	 fiber
       interfaces  (10GBASE-SR).  Each interface has several attributes.  Some
       such as MTU are configurable while others are read-only.	  In  general,
       each attribute can have a certain value in the running system (which is
       its current value), another value in the configuration file that stores
       data  across  boots  and DLKM loads (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 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 Con‐
       trol, see rbac(5).

       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
       manual page nwmgr(1M).  It is guaranteed that any change in the script‐
       able output across releases will contain only additions, never  modifi‐
       cations	or  deletions.	 The  human-readable  format can change across
       releases, including modifications and deletions, though the changes can
       be expected to be incremental.

   Operations
       The command provides the following operations for the interface.

       Get/display  interface  settings.   This	 is the default operation when
       none is specified.

USAGE
       The  common  usages  of	for the driver are described in greater detail
       below.  The output format that is described is the human-readable  one;
       references to the scriptable output are made as necessary.

	      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 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 interfaces are dis‐
	      played.	The  properties	 displayed  for	 each  interface   are
	      explained	 in  nwmgr(1M).	  Note	that  the get 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
	      and  duplex  of the interface.  More details can be found in the
	      section.

   View 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 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

	      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 inter‐
	      face (same as what is shown  by  It  then	 displays  PCI-related
	      properties  such as the PCI Device ID. It also displays the cur‐
	      rent 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 Manufacturing Data for the
	      NIC, and the firmware versions.

   Save Attributes Values as Default Values for An Interface

	      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 (and DLKM loads).  The user
	      can also run the start-up script later by hand to apply the con‐
	      figuration  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 pos‐
	      terity.

   Set Current Attributes Values From Default
       These commands set the current values for attributes from  the  default
       values for an interface.

	      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

	      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 to see if the interface is
	      data-critical, i.e., any other resource depends  for  its	 func‐
	      tionality	 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 system-critical, i.e., 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  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
       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.

TRANSMIT AND RECEIVE INTERRUPT COALESCING
       The  10	GigE card provides four link-utilization ranges, corresponding
       frame counts, and also a timer.	Based on  the  utilization  range,  an
       interrupt  will	be  generated  after a specified number of frames have
       been processed by the card.  The link utilization ranges and the	 frame
       counts are programmable.	 You can specify three range limits for trans‐
       mit and and receive and that provide four utilization ranges  as	 indi‐
       cated  below.   Please note that the link utilization is expressed as a
       percentage.  Corresponding to each range, we have frame counts:

	      For transmit:  and

	      For receive:

       Here are the ranges (only transmit shown, receive would be the same):

	      Range-A	     0 - tx_r1% tx_frc_a
	      Range-B	     tx_r1 - tx_r2% tx_frc_b
	      Range-C	     tx_r2 - tx_r3% tx_frc_c
	      Range-D	     tx_r3 - 100% tx_frc_d

       For the frame counts, the range of values is {0 - 65535}.

       The timer value is expressed in microseconds and can be in the range {0
       -  32000000}.   When  the  value	 is zero, interrupts are disabled. The
       default values are:

	      For transmit Interrupt Coalescing:

		     Link util:	    0 - 5  5 - 25  25 - 70  70 - 100
		     Frame Count:   32	   256	   512	    512
		     Timer:	    225000

	      For Receive Interrupt Coalescing:

		     Link util:	    0 - 5  5 - 25  25 - 70  70 - 100
		     Frame Count:   1	   64	   128	    512
		     Timer:	    0

       The above values can be set with the following commands:

RETURN VALUES
	 0  The command returns 0 on success.

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

ERRORS
       Operation or feature is not supported.

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

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

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

       Attempt to set a read-only attribute.

       The target interface could not be accessed.

       Memory allocation failed. This could be a transient condition.

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

   Obsolescence
       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.
