27.Os
28.Sh NAME
29.Nm arswitch
30.Nd Atheros AR8000 series Ethernet switch driver
31.Sh SYNOPSIS
32.Cd "device mdio"
33.Cd "device etherswitch"
34.Cd "device arswitch"
35.Sh DESCRIPTION
36The
37.Nm
38driver provides a management interface to Atheros AR8000 series Ethernet
39switch controllers.
40The driver uses an
41.Xr mdio 4
42or
43.Xr miibus 4
44interface to configure the ethernet interface.
45.Pp
46This driver supports port based vlan, and
47IEEE 802.1Q (QinQ).
48These options can be configured with the
49.Xr etherswitchcfg 8
50command.
51.Nm
52supports
53.Dv addtag ,
54.Dv striptag ,
55and
56.Dv doubletag .
57.Dv addtag
58and
59.Dv striptag
60are mutually exclusive.
61.Pp
62Setting the switch MAC address is not supported.
63.Sh HARDWARE
