Hub

The SunFastEthernet Adapter card is supported on most SBus based Sun-4c, Sun-4m, and Sun-4d system architectures that run under the Solaris® environment or other compatible operating systems.

To utilize the SunFastEthernet Adapter card, the system also needs to contain OpenBoot™ PROM (OBP) level 2.3 or later. Verify your OBP version by typing the banner command at the ok prompt. If the OBP version is earlier than 2.3 then the OBP must be upgraded.

An on-board FCode PROM provides configuration support that identifies the SunFastEthernet Adapter card to the system and contains selftest routines.

InstallingtheSunFastEthernet

2.1 Card Installation

SBusCard

1. Remove the SunFastEthernet Adapter card from the antistatic bag and

spread the bag on a firm surface to provide a protective mat.

Figure 2-1 Handling the SunFastEthernet Adapter Card

2. Place the card, component side up, on the bag.

3. Install the card according to the SBus installation procedures in the

hardware installation or service manual for your system.

Note – If a SunFastEthernet card is installed in a slot and you later change the

location of the card, then you must perform the procedure indicated in Section 2.4, “Relocating a SunFastEthernet Card (Solaris 2.x Only)”.

4. Following card installation, connect to a network.

2-1

Use the onboard transceiver RJ45 connector for Category 5, data grade UTP wiring (100M maximum).

The external transceiver MII Interface connector can be used for Category 5, data grade UTP or for other wiring types (dependent upon the transceiver type). For example: Category 3 voice grade (UTP), fiber optic, STP, etc.

5. Verify SunFastEthernet installation by testing the card as indicated in the

following section.

2.2 Testing theSunFastEthernet Adapter CardBeforeBooting the System

Note – To utilize the SunFastEthernet Adapter card, the system needs to contain OpenBoot™ PROM (OBP) level 2.3 or later.

After the SunFastEthernet Adapter card is installed, and before booting the system, verify installation by performing the following procedure:

1. Power on the system and when the banner appears press the L1-A key to

get to the ok prompt.

2-2 SunFastEthernet Adapter User Guide—November 1994

2. Use show-devs to find out SBus card information.

The show-devs command used by itself shows the entire device tree. The example below shows information for a SPARCserver™ 1000 system with only one system board (board 0) and a SunFastEthernet channel installed in slot 1.

<#0> ok show-devs /io-unit@f,e0200000/sbi@0,0/qec@1,20000 /io-unit@f,e0200000/sbi@0,0/lebuffer@3,40000 /io-unit@f,e0200000/sbi@0,0/dma@3,81000 /io-unit@f,e0200000/sbi@0,0/lebuffer@0,40000 /io-unit@f,e0200000/sbi@0,0/dma@0,81000 /io-unit@f,e0200000/sbi@0,0/qec@1,20000/be@0,0 /io-unit@f,e0200000/sbi@0,0/lebuffer@3,40000/le@3,60000 /io-unit@f,e0200000/sbi@0,0/dma@3,81000/esp@3,80000 /io-unit@f,e0200000/sbi@0,0/dma@3,81000/esp@3,80000/st /io-unit@f,e0200000/sbi@0,0/dma@3,81000/esp@3,80000/sd /io-unit@f,e0200000/sbi@0,0/lebuffer@0,40000/le@0,60000 /io-unit@f,e0200000/sbi@0,0/dma@0,81000/esp@0,80000 /io-unit@f,e0200000/sbi@0,0/dma@0,81000/esp@0,80000/st /io-unit@f,e0200000/sbi@0,0/dma@0,81000/esp@0,80000/sd <#0> ok

3. Set the diag-switch to true.

At the ok prompt type:

ok setenv diag-switch? true

Note – If the diag switch is not set to true reduced tests are run.

Note – The SunFastEthernet card must be connected to an active network if the

watch commands are to provide packet data.

4. Use a watch command, either watch-net-all (OpenBoot PROM 2.6 or

above) or watch-net (OpenBoot PROM 2.3 to 2.5), to watch net activity or watch incoming network packets.

Installing the SunFastEthernet SBus Card 2-3

Note – To find out the OpenBoot PROM revision level on your system, type

.version at the <#0> ok prompt.

a. If the system has OpenBoot PROM 2.6 or above, use watch-net-all.

This example shows output when a be channel is connected to a 10Mbps network.

Note – Activity may also be displayed for the le0 interface if it is connected.

<#0> ok watch-net-all /io-unit@f,e0200000/sbi@0,0/qec@1,20000/be@0,0 Qe register test -- succeeded. Internal loopback test -- succeeded.

2-4 SunFastEthernet Adapter User Guide—November 1994

b. If the system has OpenBoot PROM 2.3 to 2.5, use the watch-net

command.

<#0> ok watch-net Qe register test -- succeeded. Internal loopback test -- succeeded. Transceiver check -- 100 mbps Link Down, 10 mbps Link Up, passed. Tx/Rx enable/disable test--succeeded Frame counter test--succeeded Address detection test--succeeded Address hash test--succeeded Looking for Ethernet packets. ‘.’ is a good packet. ‘X’ is a bad packet. Type any key to stop.

<#0> ok

5. Set the diag-switch to false.

At the ok prompt type:

ok setenv diag-switch? false

Installing the SunFastEthernet SBus Card 2-5

2.3 Booting From SunFastEthernet Devices

To get information about valid SunFastEthernet device path names for your machine use the show-devs command as shown in the following example:

Look for the be node in the device paths. For the preceding example, the device boot path for the SunFastEthernet channel would be:

/io-unit@f,e0200000/sbi@0,0/qec@1,20000/be@0,0

Note – Servers must be setup prior to booting as indicated in the following step. Refer to Chapter 3 for Solaris 1.x and Chapter 4 for Solaris 2.x.

To boot from the OPB ok prompt, type boot and then the device path. In this example, board 0, slot 1:

<#0> ok boot /io-unit@f,e0200000/sbi@0,0/qec@1,20000/be@0,0

2-6 SunFastEthernet Adapter User Guide—November 1994

2.4 Relocating a SunFastEthernet Card(Solaris 2.x Only)

If a SunFastEthernet card is installed in an sbus slot and you later change the location of the card, then you must perform the following procedure or the driver will not be recognized within the system:

1. Use the pkgrm command to remove the driver SUNWbmac as shown in

the following example:

# pkgrm SUNWbmac

2. Edit the file(s) /etc/path_to_inst and /etc/name_to_major by removing any

references to the be channel that you are changing from.

For example:

# grep be /etc/path_to_inst /io-unit@f,e0200000/sbi@0,0/qec@1.20000/be@0,0

and:

# grep be /etc/name_to_major be 111

In both the above examples, the results of the grep command for the be<num> channel you are moving the card from, should be deleted.

3. Move the SunFastEthernet card to the new slot location and then reboot

the system.

4. Add the SUNWbmac package using the pkgadd command as indicated in

Section 4.2.3, “Adding SUNWbmac Using pkgadd Command”.
