Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!

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.
