Networking Support

This section describes the bnx2x VMware ESXi driver for the QLogic 8400/3400 
Series PCIe 10 GbE network adapters.

Driver Parameters

Several optional parameters can be supplied as a command line argument to the 
vmkload_mod command. These parameters can also be set with the 
esxcfg-module command. See the man page for more information.

int_mode

The optional parameter 

int_mode

 is used to force using an interrupt mode other 

than MSI-X. By default, the driver will try to enable MSI-X if it is supported by the 
kernel. If MSI-X is not attainable, then the driver will try to enable MSI if it is 
supported by the kernel. If MSI is not attainable, then the driver will use the legacy 
INTx mode.

Set the 

int_mode

 parameter to 1 as shown below to force using the legacy INTx 

mode on all 8400/3400 Series network adapters in the system.

vmkload_mod bnx2x int_mode=1

Set the 

int_mode

 parameter to 2 as shown below to force using MSI mode on all 

8400/3400 Series network adapters in the system.

vmkload_mod bnx2x int_mode=2

disable_tpa

The optional parameter 

disable_tpa

 can be used to disable the Transparent 

Packet Aggregation (TPA) feature. By default, the driver will aggregate TCP 
packets, but if you would like to disable this advanced feature, it can be done.

Set the 

disable_tpa

 parameter to 1 as shown below to disable the TPA feature on 

all 8400/3400 Series network adapters in the system.

vmkload_mod bnx2x.ko disable_tpa=1

Use ethtool to disable TPA (LRO) for a specific network adapter.

num_rx_queues

The optional parameter 

num_rx_queues

 may be used to set the number of Rx 

queues on kernels starting from 2.6.24 when 

multi_mode

 is set to 1 and interrupt 

mode is MSI-X. Number of Rx queues must be equal to or greater than the 
number of Tx queues (see 

num_tx_queues

 parameter). If the interrupt mode is 

different than MSI-X (see 

int_mode

 parameter), then then the number of Rx 

queues will be set to 1, discarding the value of this parameter.
