Linux* Base Driver for Intel(R) Network Connection | ||
================================================== | ||

||
Intel Gigabit Linux driver. | ||

||
Identifying Your Adapter | ||
======================== | ||
|
||
This driver supports all 82575, 82576 and 82580-based Intel (R) gigabit network | ||
connections. | ||
|
||
For specific information on how to identify your adapter, go to the Adapter & | ||
Driver ID Guide at: | ||
|
||
http://support.intel.com/support/go/network/adapter/idguide.htm | ||
|
||
Command Line Parameters | ||
======================= | ||
|
||
The default value for each parameter is generally the recommended setting, | ||
unless otherwise noted. | ||
|
||
max_vfs | ||
------- | ||
Valid Range: 0-7 | ||
Default Value: 0 | ||
|
||
This parameter adds support for SR-IOV. It causes the driver to spawn up to | ||
max_vfs worth of virtual function. | ||
|
||
Additional Configurations | ||
========================= | ||
|
||
Jumbo Frames | ||
------------ | ||
Jumbo Frames support is enabled by changing the MTU to a value larger than | ||
the default of 1500. Use the ifconfig command to increase the MTU size. | ||
For example: | ||
|
||
ifconfig eth<x> mtu 9000 up | ||
|
||
This setting is not saved across reboots. | ||
|
||
Notes: | ||
|
||
- The maximum MTU setting for Jumbo Frames is 9216. This value coincides | ||
with the maximum Jumbo Frames size of 9234 bytes. | ||
|
||
- Using Jumbo Frames at 10 or 100 Mbps may result in poor performance or | ||
loss of link. | ||
|
||
Ethtool | ||
------- | ||
The driver utilizes the ethtool interface for driver configuration and | ||
diagnostics, as well as displaying statistical information. | ||
|
||
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gkernel. | ||
|
||
Enabling Wake on LAN* (WoL) | ||
--------------------------- | ||
WoL is configured through the Ethtool* utility. | ||
|
||
For instructions on enabling WoL with Ethtool, refer to the Ethtool man page. | ||
|
||
WoL will be enabled on the system during the next shut down or reboot. | ||
For this driver version, in order to enable WoL, the igb driver must be | ||
loaded when shutting down or rebooting the system. | ||
|
||
Wake On LAN is only supported on port A of multi-port adapters. | ||
|
||
Wake On LAN is not supported for the Intel(R) Gigabit VT Quad Port Server | ||
Adapter. | ||
|
||
Multiqueue | ||
---------- | ||
In this mode, a separate MSI-X vector is allocated for each queue and one | ||
for "other" interrupts such as link status change and errors. All | ||
interrupts are throttled via interrupt moderation. Interrupt moderation | ||
must be used to avoid interrupt storms while the driver is processing one | ||
interrupt. The moderation value should be at least as large as the expected | ||
time for the driver to process an interrupt. Multiqueue is off by default. | ||
|
||
REQUIREMENTS: MSI-X support is required for Multiqueue. If MSI-X is not | ||
found, the system will fallback to MSI or to Legacy interrupts. | ||
|
||
LRO | ||
--- | ||
Large Receive Offload (LRO) is a technique for increasing inbound throughput | ||
of high-bandwidth network connections by reducing CPU overhead. It works by | ||
aggregating multiple incoming packets from a single stream into a larger | ||
buffer before they are passed higher up the networking stack, thus reducing | ||
the number of packets that have to be processed. LRO combines multiple | ||
Ethernet frames into a single receive in the stack, thereby potentially | ||
decreasing CPU utilization for receives. | ||
|
||
NOTE: You need to have inet_lro enabled via either the CONFIG_INET_LRO or | ||
CONFIG_INET_LRO_MODULE kernel config option. Additionally, if | ||
CONFIG_INET_LRO_MODULE is used, the inet_lro module needs to be loaded | ||
before the igb driver. | ||
|
||
You can verify that the driver is using LRO by looking at these counters in | ||
Ethtool: | ||
|
||
lro_aggregated - count of total packets that were combined | ||
lro_flushed - counts the number of packets flushed out of LRO | ||
lro_no_desc - counts the number of times an LRO descriptor was not available | ||
for the LRO packet | ||
|
||
NOTE: IPv6 and UDP are not supported by LRO. | ||

This file describes the igbvf Linux* Base Driver for Intel Network Connection. | ||
|
||
The igbvf driver supports 82576-based virtual function devices that can only | ||
be activated on kernels that support SR-IOV. SR-IOV requires the correct | ||
platform and OS support. | ||
|
||
The igbvf driver requires the igb driver, version 2.0 or later. The igbvf | ||
driver supports virtual functions generated by the igb driver with a max_vfs | ||
value of 1 or greater. For more information on the max_vfs parameter refer | ||
to the README included with the igb driver. | ||
|
||
The guest OS loading the igbvf driver must support MSI-X interrupts. | ||
|
||
This driver is only supported as a loadable module at this time. Intel is | ||
not supplying patches against the kernel source to allow for static linking | ||
of the driver. For questions related to hardware requirements, refer to the | ||
documentation supplied with your Intel Gigabit adapter. All hardware | ||
requirements listed apply to use with Linux. | ||
|
||
Instructions on updating ethtool can be found in the section "Additional | ||
Configurations" later in this document. | ||
|
||
VLANs: There is a limit of a total of 32 shared VLANs to 1 or more VFs. | ||
