Platform Notes:The eri FastEthernet Device Driver

Using the ndd Utility in Interactive Mode

  1. To modify a parameter value in interactive mode, specify ndd eri, as shown below.

    The ndd utility then prompts you for the name of the parameter:


    % ndd /dev/eri
    name to get/set? (Enter the parameter name or ? to view all parameters)
    

After you enter the parameter name, the ndd utility prompts you for the parameter value (see Table 3-1 through Table 3-9 for parameter descriptions).

  1. To list all the parameters supported by the eri driver, type:

    % ndd /dev/eri \?

    (See Table 3-1 through Table 3-9 for parameter descriptions.)
