NAME

       ixgbe — Intel(R) 10Gb Ethernet driver for the FreeBSD operating system

SYNOPSIS

       To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:

             device iflib
             device ixgbe

       Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):

             if_ixgbe_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION

       The  ixgbe  driver  provides  support  for PCI 10Gb Ethernet adapters based on the Intel 82598EB Intel(R)
       Network Connections.  The driver supports Jumbo Frames, MSIX, TSO, and RSS.

       For questions related to hardware requirements, refer to the documentation supplied with your Intel 10GbE
       adapter.  All hardware requirements listed apply to use with FreeBSD.

       Support for Jumbo Frames is provided via the interface MTU setting.  Selecting an MTU  larger  than  1500
       bytes  with  the  ifconfig(8)  utility  configures the adapter to receive and transmit Jumbo Frames.  The
       maximum MTU size for Jumbo Frames is 16114.

       This driver version supports VLANs.  For information on enabling VLANs, see ifconfig(8).

HARDWARE

       The ixgbe driver supports the following cards:

       •   Intel(R) 10 Gigabit XF SR/AF Dual Port Server Adapter
       •   Intel(R) 10 Gigabit XF SR/LR Server Adapter
       •   Intel(R) 82598EB 10 Gigabit AF Network Connection
       •   Intel(R) 82598EB 10 Gigabit AT CX4 Network Connection
