Before configuring the DAG card
Before configuring the FPGA, ensure the following actions have been completed on each installed DAG
card:
•
memory allocated to each DAG card.
•
DAG drivers installed for each DAG card.
Note:
Before using the DAG card to capture or transmit traffic remember to run
dagconfig -dX default
(Where X is the device number of the DAG card you want to configure).
For further details, see
Resetting DAG card Operational Settings
(page 15).
Linux operating systems
In Linux operating systems, use the following applications:
•
dagmem
has been run and memory allocated to each installed DAG card.
•
dagload
has been run so that all DAG drivers have been installed.
Note:
dagmem
controls the amount of memory assigned to each DAG card. To change the memory assignments
dagmem
must be reloaded, which may require a reboot. Refer to
EDM04-32 dagmem Software Guide
.
For further details, refer to the
Installing the drivers
section for the required operating system in
EDM04-
01 DAG Software Installation Guide
.
Windows Server operating systems
In Windows Server operating systems, use the
DAG Devices
tool to allocate memory to each installed
DAG card, and install DAG drivers for each installed DAG card.
For further details, refer to the
Configuring DAG card parameters
section in
EDM04-37 Windows DAG
Software Installation Guide
