HFA(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual HFA(4)NAMEhfa — FORE Systems 200-Series ATM adapter driver
SYNOPSIS
device hfaDESCRIPTION
The hfa driver provides support for the FORE Systems ATM series 200
adapters. This driver will support up to eight devices in a system at
any given time. The hfa driver follows the AALI or FORE ATM Adaptation
Layer Interface and as such will adhere to its specifications. The sup‐
ported AALs include:
· FORE AAL 0: The cell service;
· FORE AAL 4: Version three and four of AAL;
· FORE AAL 5: Version five of AAL.
The hfa driver supports traffic shaping for cards with firmware revisions
of 4.X.X, see fore_dnld(8). The following sysctls are recognized by the
driver and may be used to enable or disable traffic shaping:
hw.atm.hfaN.shape (0)
Disable shaping on card number N.
hw.atm.hfaN.shape (1)
Set one VCI to be traffic shaped on device N. This will shape
the first CBR VCI which is opened.
hw.atm.hfaN.shape (2)
Attempt to shape all VCIs on device N.
The firmware should be loaded before using this driver, this can be an
easy task if the fore_dnld(8) utility is used. If the /etc/rc.d/atm1
file has been properly configured then the firmware update should be
automatic.
HARDWARE
The hfa driver supports the following adapters:
· FORE Systems PCA-200E ATM
· FORE Systems 200S
· FORE Systems 200
DIAGNOSTICS
fore_cmd_drain: %s%d: GET_PROM failed The driver failed to drain the
PROM buffer.
fore initialization failed: intf=%s%d Initialization of the card has
failed.
fore initialization timed out: intf=%s%d Initialization of the card has
timed out.
hfa: version mismatch: fore=%d.%d kernel=%d.%d A version mismatch error
has occurred.
