28.Dt ARSWITCH 4
29.Os
30.Sh NAME
31.Nm arswitch
32.Nd driver for Atheros Fast Ethernet switch
33.Sh SYNOPSIS
34.Cd "device mdio"
35.Cd "device etherswitch"
36.Cd "device arswitch"
37.Sh DESCRIPTION
38The
39.Nm
40device driver provides a management interface to multiple Atheros
41fast ethernet switch chips:
42.Bl -tag -compact -width "AR7240"
43.It AR7240
44Wireless Network Processor SOC with five Fast Ethernet PHYs
45.It AR8216
46Fast Ethernet Switch
47.It AR8226
48.It AR8316
49Six-port Gigabit Ethernet Switch
50.It AR8327
51Seven-port Gigabit Ethernet Switch
52.It AR9340
53Wireless networking SoC
54.El
55.Pp
56The driver uses an
57.Xr mdio 4
58or
59.Xr miibus 4
60interface to configure the ethernet interface.
61.Pp
62This driver supports port based vlan, and
63IEEE 802.1Q (QinQ).
64These options can be configured with the
65.Xr etherswitchcfg 8
66command.
67.Nm
68supports
69.Dv addtag ,
70.Dv striptag ,
71and
72.Dv doubletag .
73.Dv addtag
74and
75.Dv striptag
76are mutually exclusive.
77.Pp
78Setting the switch MAC address is not supported.
