ice(4) manual page

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

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

if_ice_load="YES"

The ice driver provides support for any PCI Express adapter or LOM (LAN On Motherboard) in the Intel Ethernet 800 Series. As of this writing, the series includes devices with these model numbers:

Intel® Ethernet Controller E810-C
Intel® Ethernet Controller E810-XXV
Intel® Ethernet Connection E822-C
Intel® Ethernet Connection E822-L
Intel® Ethernet Connection E823-C
Intel® Ethernet Connection E823-L

For questions related to hardware requirements, refer to the documentation supplied with your adapter.

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 9706. This value coincides with the maximum Jumbo Frame size of 9728.

This driver version supports VLANs. For information on enabling VLANs, see the README.

Offloads are also controlled via the interface, for instance, checksumming for both IPv4 and IPv6 can be set and unset, TSO4 and/or TSO6, and finally LRO can be set and unset.

For more information on configuring this device, see ifconfig(8).

There are additional tools available from Intel to help configure and update the adapters covered by this driver. These tools can be downloaded directly from Intel at
.Lk https://downloadcenter.intel.com, by searching for their names, or by installing certain packages:

To change the behavior of the QSFP28 ports on E810-C adapters, use the Intel EPCT (Ethernet Port configuration tool); installed by the sysutils/intel-epct package.
To update the firmware on an adapter, use the Intel Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) Update Utility for Intel Network Adapter 800 series; installed by the sysutils/intel-nvmupdate-100g package.

Tunables can be set at the loader(8) prompt before booting the kernel or stored in loader.conf(5). See the iflib(4) man page for more information on using iflib sysctl variables as tunables.

dev.ice.#.fc
	Allows one to set the flow control value. A value of 0 disables flow control, 3 enables full, 1 is RX, and 2 is TX pause.
dev.ice.#.advertise_speed
	Allows one to set advertised link speeds, this will then cause a link renegotiation.
dev.ice.#.current_speed
	This is a display of the current setting.
dev.ice.#.fw_version
	Displays the current firmware and NVM versions of the adapter.
