LIQUIDIO(4) FreeBSD Kernel Interfaces Manual LIQUIDIO(4)
NAME
liquidio - Cavium 10Gb/25Gb Ethernet driver for the FreeBSD operating
system
SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following line in your
kernel configuration file:
device lio
Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the
following line in loader.conf(5):
if_lio_load="YES"
DESCRIPTION
The liquidio driver provides support for 23XX 10Gb/25Gb Ethernet
adapters. The driver supports Jumbo Frames, Transmit/Receive checksum
offload, TCP segmentation offload (TSO), Large Receive Offload (LRO),
VLAN tag insertion/extraction, VLAN checksum offload, VLAN TSO, and
Receive Side Steering (RSS)
Support for Jumbo Frames is provided via the interface MTU setting.
Selecting an MTU larger than 1500 bytes with the ifconfig(8) utility
configures the adapter to receive and transmit Jumbo Frames. The maximum
MTU size for Jumbo Frames is 16000.
For more information on configuring this device, see ifconfig(8).
HARDWARE
The liquidio driver supports the following cards:
o LiquidIO II CN2350 210SV/225SV
o LiquidIO II CN2360 210SV/225SV
LOADER TUNABLES
Tunables can be set at the loader(8) prompt before booting the kernel or
stored in loader.conf(5).
hw.lio.fw_type
String that specifies type of firmware to be loaded. Default is
"nic". Use "none" to load firmware from flash.
hw.lio.num_queues_per_pf0
Unsigned integers that specify number of queues per PF0. Valid
range is 0 to 64. Use 0 to derive autoconfigures based on the
number of cpus with a max of 8
hw.lio.num_queues_per_pf1
Unsigned integers that specify number of queues per PF1. Valid
range is 0 to 64. Use 0 to derive autoconfigures based on the
number of cpus with a max of 8
hw.lio.console_bitmask
hw.lio.hwlro
To enable/disable hardware LRO
