54.Ar command parameter
55.Sh DESCRIPTION
56The
57.Nm
58utility is used to configure an Ethernet switch built into the system.
59.Nm
60accepts a number of options:
61.Pp
62.Bl -tag -width ".Fl f" -compact
63.It Fl "f control file"
64Specifies the
65.Xr etherswitch 4
66control file that represents the switch to be configured.
67It defaults to
68.Pa /dev/etherswitch0 .
69.It Fl m
70When reporting port information, also list available media options for
71that port.
72.It Fl v
73Produce more verbose output.
74Without this flag, lines that represent inactive or empty configuration
75options are omitted.
76.El
77.Ss config
78The config command provides access to global switch configuration
79parameters.
80It support the following commands:
81.Pp
82.Bl -tag -width ".Cm vlan_mode mode" -compact
83.It Cm vlan_mode Ar mode
84Sets the switch VLAN mode (depends on the hardware).
85.El
86.Ss phy
87The phy command provides access to the registers of the PHYs attached
88to or integrated into the switch controller.
89PHY registers are specified as phy.register,
90where
91.Ar phy
92is usually the port number, and
93.Ar register
94is the register number.
95Both can be provided as decimal, octal or hexadecimal numbers in any of the formats
96understood by
97.Xr strtol 3 .
98To set the register value, use the form instance.register=value.
99.Ss port
100The port command selects one of the ports of the switch.
101It supports the following commands:
102.Pp
103.Bl -tag -width ".Ar pvid number" -compact
104.It Cm pvid Ar number
105Sets the default port VID that is used to process incoming frames that are not tagged.
106.It Cm media Ar mediaspec
107Specifies the physical media configuration to be configured for a port.
108.It Cm mediaopt Ar mediaoption
109Specifies a list of media options for a port.
110See
111.Xr ifconfig 8
112for details on
113.Cm media
114and
115.Cm mediaopt .
116.It Cm led Ar number style
117Sets the display style for a given LED.
118Available styles are:
119.Cm default
120(usually flash on activity),
121.Cm on ,
122.Cm off ,
123and
124.Cm blink .
125Not all switches will support all styles.
126.El
127.Pp
128And the following flags (please note that not all flags
129are supported by all switch drivers):
130.Pp
131.Bl -tag -width ".Fl addtag" -compact
132.It Cm addtag
133Add VLAN tag to each packet sent by the port.
134.It Fl addtag
135Disable the add VLAN tag option.
136.It Cm striptag
137Strip the VLAN tags from the packets sent by the port.
138.It Fl striptag
139Disable the strip VLAN tag option.
140.It Cm striptagingress
141Strip the VLAN tags from the packets received by the port.
142.It Fl striptagingress
143Disable the strip VLAN tag on ingress option.
144.It Cm firstlock
145This options makes the switch port lock on the first MAC address it sees.
146After that, usually you need to reset the switch to learn different
147MAC addresses.
148.It Fl firstlock
149Disable the first lock option.
150Note that sometimes you need to reset the
151switch to really disable this option.
152.It Cm droptagged
153Drop packets with a VLAN tag.
154.It Fl droptagged
155Disable the drop tagged packets option.
156.It Cm dropuntagged
157Drop packets without a VLAN tag.
158.It Fl dropuntagged
159Disable the drop untagged packets option.
160.It Cm doubletag
161Enable QinQ for the port.
162.It Fl doubletag
163Disable QinQ for the port.
164.It Cm ingress
165Enable the ingress filter on the port.
166.It Fl ingress
167Disable the ingress filter.
168.El
169.Ss reg
170The reg command provides access to the registers of the switch controller.
171.Ss vlangroup
172The vlangroup command selects one of the VLAN groups for configuration.
173It supports the following commands:
174.Pp
175.Bl -tag -width ".Cm members" -compact
176.It Cm vlan Ar VID
177Sets the VLAN ID (802.1q VID) for this VLAN group.
178Frames transmitted on tagged member ports of this group will be tagged
179with this VID.
180Incoming frames carrying this tag will be forwarded according to the
181configuration of this VLAN group.
182.It Cm members Ar port,...
183Configures which ports are to be a member of this VLAN group.
184The port numbers are given as a comma-separated list.
185Each port can optionally be followed by
186.Dq t
187to indicate that frames on this port are tagged.
188.El
189.Sh FILES
190.Bl -tag -width /dev/etherswitch? -compact
191.It Pa /dev/etherswitch?
192Control file for the Ethernet switch driver.
193.El
194.Sh EXAMPLES
195Configure VLAN group 1 with a VID of 2 and make ports 0 and 5 its members
196while excluding all other ports.
197Port 5 will send and receive tagged frames while port 0 will be untagged.
198Incoming untagged frames on port 0 are assigned to vlangroup1.
