Hi Brian,
I do not know why your configuration failed with the native xge of S10
10/08.
I tried with SNV_105, S10 Update7_build3, and S10 10/08. All succeeded.
Here are my system info with S10 10/08.
bash-3.00# cat /etc/release
Solaris 10 10/08 s10x_u6wos_07b X86

154 fffffffff00da000 20ab8 119 1 xge (Xframe I/II 10Gb Ethernet 1.6)
bash-3.00# cat /kernel/drv/xge.conf
set default_mtu=9000;
bash-3.00# ifconfig xge0
xge0: flags=1000842<BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 9000 index 3
inet 0.0.0.0 netmask 0
ether 0:c:fc:0:2:fe
Anyway, it's better that the driver from Neterion works for you. :)
Thanks,

Hi, Lucy,
I did that on both a fresh 10/08 install and a fully-patched 10/08 install. It
did not succeed. And yes, I made sure that my syntax was correct with the
semi-colon at the end. I'm using the neterion driver for now and it seems to
be working well.
Thanks,
-Brian

Hi Brian,
Set the below line to /kernel/drv/xge.conf will the work. You might have
missed the ";" in your experiments.
set default_mtu=9000;
The configuration of xge has not been ported to Brussel yet.
Thanks,
Lucy

Hi all,
I'm new to the community so forgive me if I've not landed in the right place for this
question. I've been reading up on the xge driver for the Neterion Xframe II 10Gb adapter
and how to enable jumbo frames or, to be more accurate, not really reading a whole lot
due to a terrible lack of docs (the man page is pretty sparse). IIRC, I was able to
accomplish this in Solaris 10 update 3 some time ago but abandoned it due to some other
hosts I have including the BCM5721 device which does not support large frames. Anyway,
long story short, there is no documentation on how to get the xge driver to support jumbo
frames. I created /kernel/drv/xge.conf and added "default_mtu=9000;" as is par
for many other drivers, I checked 'dladm' (I'm on Sol10 10/08) to see if any of the new
Brussels features made their way in (and no dice... this, despite the fact that all the
dladm man pages on docs.sun.com already include those features...
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-2240/dladm-1m?
a
=v
iew -- what gives?!??!?!), and I even pored over 'ndd' to see if there were
any tunables for MTU, SDU, anything. Is there something obvious I'm missing
here?
Thanks a lot in advance for any help.
-Brian
