| The Digi International RightSwitch SE-X (dgrs) Device Driver | |
| This is a Linux driver for the Digi International RightSwitch SE-X | |
| EISA and PCI boards. These are 4 (EISA) or 6 (PCI) port Ethernet | |
| switches and a NIC combined into a single board. This driver can | |
| be compiled into the kernel statically or as a loadable module. | |
| There is also a companion management tool, called "xrightswitch". | |
| The management tool lets you watch the performance graphically, | |
| as well as set the SNMP agent IP and IPX addresses, IEEE Spanning | |
| Tree, and Aging time. These can also be set from the command line | |
| when the driver is loaded. The driver command line options are: | |
| debug=NNN Debug printing level | |
| dma=0/1 Disable/Enable DMA on PCI card | |
| spantree=0/1 Disable/Enable IEEE spanning tree | |
| hashexpire=NNN Change address aging time (default 300 seconds) | |
| ipaddr=A,B,C,D Set SNMP agent IP address i.e. 199,86,8,221 | |
| iptrap=A,B,C,D Set SNMP agent IP trap address i.e. 199,86,8,221 | |
| ipxnet=NNN Set SNMP agent IPX network number | |
| nicmode=0/1 Disable/Enable multiple NIC mode | |
| There is also a tool for setting up input and output packet filters | |
| on each port, called "dgrsfilt". | |
| Both the management tool and the filtering tool are available | |
| separately from the following FTP site: | |
| ftp://ftp.dgii.com/drivers/rightswitch/linux/ | |
| When nicmode=1, the board and driver operate as 4 or 6 individual | |
| NIC ports (eth0...eth5) instead of as a switch. All switching | |
| functions are disabled. In the future, the board firmware may include | |
| a routing cache when in this mode. | |
