DESCRIPTION
The arswitch device driver provides a management interface to multiple
Atheros fast ethernet switch chips:
AR8216 Fast Ethernet Switch
AR8226
AR8316 Six-port Gigabit Ethernet Switch
AR8327 Seven-port Gigabit Ethernet Switch
The driver uses an mdio(4) or miibus(4) interface to configure the
ethernet interface.
This driver supports port based vlan, and IEEE 802.1Q (QinQ). These
options can be configured with the etherswitchcfg(8) command. arswitch
supports addtag, striptag, and doubletag. addtag and striptag are
mutually exclusive.
Setting the switch MAC address is not supported.
