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