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

Authors

       The ixgbe driver was written by Intel Corporation <freebsd@intel.com>.

Debian                                          January 30, 2019                                        IXGBE(4)

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).
