BCM5701 LINUX DRIVER

On systems with insufficient memory, it may be necessary to set a lower value for this property. Setting the value of this property higher allows the adapter to buffer larger bursts of network traffic without dropping frames, especially on slower systems. Build the driver bcm Note that if not all the virtual network interfaces are configured with an IP address, there will be an error message in starting the BASP team. The driver will be installed in the following path:. Note that the MTU size excludes the Ethernet header size of 14 bytes. With the TG3 driver, you can team adapters together using the bonding kernel module and a channel bonding interface.

The most recent Red Hat distributions are included.

Patch files are included for patching the driver into some of the latest 2. This mode is protocol-independent and all traffic will be load-balanced and fault-tolerant. Setting this property to 0 disables statistics updates.

When jumbo frames larger than bytes are used, the value of this property should not be set lower than 60 on systems with high network traffic.

The valid range of values is from 0 to 3and the default value is 1 microseconds 1 second. The valid range for this property is to A virtual device is created for each VLAN added.

To rectify the situation, locate the rpm-build package on the Red Hat installation media and install it using the command: Configures the number of transmit descriptors. The driver diskette images for the most recent Red Hat linx are included.

The name of the backup script must NOT be prefixed with "team-". This tool can be used in custom initialization scripts. The snmpget and snmpgetnext commands can be used to receive the BASP snmp objects such as:. The driver is released in two packaging formats: Thus please follow the instruction 3 in the Install - TAR archive to modify bfm5701 snmpd.

If the patched drivers are configured into the kernel, goto step 7. Both packages include the exact same script and MIB files. Compressed tar bcm version.

Setting this parameter higher allows the NIC to buffer larger bursts of jumbo traffic without dropping frames, especially on slower systems. BASP is a kernel module designed bc,5701 2. Install the source RPM package: Note that the driver may not be able to allocate the required amount of memory if the value of this property is set too high.

The default value is and the valid range of values is from 1 to This step is optional and should only be done by users familiar with configuring and building the kernel. Configures the number of transmitted frames before the adapter generates a transmit interrupt.

Source RPM bcm version. Selects the duplex mode of the link. Note that each descriptor will also require a buffer the size of a maximum jumbo frame. After extraction, change the directory to where the BASP source files are located.

Re: Broadcom BCM5701

See the RPM instructions above for the location of the installed driver. Otherwise, no transmit completion interrupt can be generated.

Configures the number of received frames before the adapter generates a receive interrupt. The valid values are: Note that if the removed physical interface does not participate in any traffic, there will not be any problem.
