Parameter Definitions

This appendix lists the parameters for the dmfe driver. For information about using these parameters, see Chapter 2 .

Driver Parameter Values and Definitions

The following sections describe the dmfe driver parameters. The parameters are listed in the following table.

TABLE A-1 `dmfe` Driver Parameters
Parameter	Configurability	Description
`link_status`	Read only	Shows the current link status
`link_speed`	Read only	Shows the current link speed
`link_mode`	Read only	Shows the current duplex mode
`adv_autoneg_cap`	Read and write	Operational mode parameter
`adv_100fdx_cap`	Read and write	Operational mode parameter
`adv_100hdx_cap`	Read and write	Operational mode parameter
`adv_10fdx_cap`	Read and write	Operational mode parameter
`adv_10hdx_cap`	Read and write	Operational mode parameter

Inspecting the Current Status of the Device

The read-only parameters described in the following table report the status, network speed, and duplex mode used by the device.

TABLE A-2 Read-Only Parameters That Report the Link Status, Speed, and Mode
Parameter	Notes	Values
`link_status`	Current link status	1 = Link up 0 = Link down
`link_speed`	Valid only if the link is up	100 = 100 Mbps 10 = 10 Mbps
`link_mode`	Valid only if the link is up	1 = Full duplex 0 = Half duplex

Operational Mode Parameters

The following table describes the operational mode parameters and their default values.

TABLE A-3 Operational Mode Parameters
Parameter	Description	Values
`adv_autoneg_cap`	Local transceiver capability advertised by the hardware	1 = Auto-negotiation enabled (default) 0 = Auto-negotiation disabled
`adv_100fdx_cap`	Local transceiver capability advertised by the hardware	1 = 100 Mbps full-duplex (default) 0 = Not 100 Mbps full-duplex capable
`adv_100hdx_cap`	Local transceiver capability advertised by the hardware	1 = 100 Mbps half-duplex (default) 0 = Not 100 Mbps half-duplex capable
`adv_10fdx_cap`	Local transceiver capability advertised by the hardware	1 = 10 Mbit/sec full-duplex (default) 0 = Not 10 Mbps full-duplex capable
`adv_10hdx_cap`	Local transceiver capability advertised by the hardware	1 = 10 Mbps half-duplex (default) 0 = Not 10 Mbps half-duplex capable

Note Note - The priority (in descending order) for the: adv_100fdx_cap, adv_100hdx_cap, adv_10fdx_cap, and the adv_10hdx_cap parameters is: adv_100fdx_cap, adv_100hdx_cap, adv_10fdx_cap, adv_10hdx_cap.
