FDDI(7)FDDI(7)NAMEfddi - IRIS-4D Series FDDI controllers
DESCRIPTION
The IRIS-4D Series supports local-area networking with the Fiber
Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) token ring. The FDDI protocol is
supported with a hardware controller, a kernel driver, and a Station
Management (SMT) daemon. Though the controllers may be different among
IRIS-4Ds and over time, their drivers and the daemon provide the same
programming interface to networking routines.
The IRIS-4D FDDI controller is named using the following convention:
Controller name Type IRIS model
ipg0, ipg1, ... Single MAC, (Power) Challenge DM/L/XL, (Power) Onyx
Dual attachment
rns0, rns1, ... Single MAC, O2/OCTANE/Origin/Onyx2
SAS, DAS, CDDI
xpi0, xpi1, ... Single MAC, Indy/Indigo/Indigo2/Indigo2 IMPACT
SAS or DAS
xpi0, xpi1, ... Single MAC, (Power) Challenge/DM/L/XL, (Power) Onyx
SAS or DAS
xpi0, xpi1, ... Double MAC, (Power) Challenge/DM/L/XL, (Power) Onyx
SAS or DAS
The FDDI boards are initialized during system startup with smtconfig from
/etc/init.d/network (see network(1M) for details).
DIAGNOSTICS
Various error messages are printed by the kernel when a problem is
encountered. The message is preceded by the controller name, for
example, ipg0. If they occur repeatedly, contact your product support
service for assistance. Use the hinv(1M) command to determine the
hardware revision number. Counts of FDDI input and output errors can be
displayed with the command netstat -i (see netstat(1M)). FDDI status
monitoring can be done using smtstat(1).
