, continued
Configuration
utility
The
dagthree
utility supports configuration status and physical layer
interface statistics for the DAG 3.x series of cards.
In a troubleshooting configuration options
–si
should be passed to the
tool to watch physical and framing layers operational status.
More details about the meaning of the various bits are supplied through
the help page (
dagthree –h
) as well as via the manual page.
3.3 Configuration in WYSYCC style
Description
Configuration in WYSYCC is the 'What You See You Can Change' style.
Running the command
dagthree
alone shows the current configuration.
Each of the items displayed can be changed as follows:
Configuration
options
reset
reset the ethernet framers, set auto mode
default
reset the ethernet framer, set auto mode
auto
set autonegotiate mode, card will detect rate
10
force 10BaseT mode, 10Mbps
100
force 100BaseTX mode, 100Mbps
1000
force 1000BaseT mode, 1000Mbps
[no]varlen
dis/enable variable length capture. Otherwise
record length padded to slen.
slen=X
capture X bytes of the packet content
For instance, if the card is configured fixed length capture (
novarlen
), but
configuration to variable length capture is wanted, removing or adding the
"
no
" prefix will change the setting. Simply type:
dag@endace:~$ dagthree -d dag0 varlen
link noreset auto enablea
packet varlen slen=48
packetA drop=0
pci 33MHz 32-bit buf=32MB rxstreams=1 txstreams=0
mem=32:0
Once the card has been configured the interface statistics are inspected to
check the card has correctly detected the links.
dag@endace:~$ dagthree -d dag0 -si
