1 | The Digi International RightSwitch SE-X (dgrs) Device Driver | ||
2 | |||
3 | This is a Linux driver for the Digi International RightSwitch SE-X | ||
4 | EISA and PCI boards. These are 4 (EISA) or 6 (PCI) port Ethernet | ||
5 | switches and a NIC combined into a single board. This driver can | ||
6 | be compiled into the kernel statically or as a loadable module. | ||
7 | |||
8 | There is also a companion management tool, called "xrightswitch". | ||
9 | The management tool lets you watch the performance graphically, | ||
10 | as well as set the SNMP agent IP and IPX addresses, IEEE Spanning | ||
11 | Tree, and Aging time. These can also be set from the command line | ||
12 | when the driver is loaded. The driver command line options are: | ||
13 | |||
14 | debug=NNN Debug printing level | ||
15 | dma=0/1 Disable/Enable DMA on PCI card | ||
16 | spantree=0/1 Disable/Enable IEEE spanning tree | ||
17 | hashexpire=NNN Change address aging time (default 300 seconds) | ||
18 | ipaddr=A,B,C,D Set SNMP agent IP address i.e. 199,86,8,221 | ||
19 | iptrap=A,B,C,D Set SNMP agent IP trap address i.e. 199,86,8,221 | ||
20 | ipxnet=NNN Set SNMP agent IPX network number | ||
21 | nicmode=0/1 Disable/Enable multiple NIC mode | ||
22 | |||
23 | There is also a tool for setting up input and output packet filters | ||
24 | on each port, called "dgrsfilt". | ||
25 | |||
26 | Both the management tool and the filtering tool are available | ||
27 | separately from the following FTP site: | ||
28 | |||
29 | ftp://ftp.dgii.com/drivers/rightswitch/linux/ | ||
30 | |||
31 | When nicmode=1, the board and driver operate as 4 or 6 individual | ||
32 | NIC ports (eth0...eth5) instead of as a switch. All switching | ||
33 | functions are disabled. In the future, the board firmware may include | ||
34 | a routing cache when in this mode. | ||
