88For hardware related questions, please refer the documentation supplied
89along with AMD EPYC processors.
90.Sh SYSCTL VARIABLES
91The following variables are available as
92.Xr sysctl 8
93variables:
94.Bl -tag -width indent
95.It Va dev.ax.X.mac_stats
96Dumps the transmit and receive statistics counter values for the controller.
97This includes statistics specific to each transmit and receive queue.
98.It Va dev.ax.X.channels_info
99Dumps the permissible and default configured transmit and receive channel
100information.
101.It Va dev.ax.X.ringparam_info
102Dumps the permissible and default configured descriptor information for the
103transmit and receive queue.
104.It Va dev.ax.X.link_ksettings_info
105Dumps the current link setting like link mode, speed, duplex settings.
106.It Va dev.ax.X.pauseparam_info
107Dumps the current flow-control settings.
108.It Va dev.ax.X.coalesce_info
109Dumps the current interrupt coalescing settings.
110.It Va dev.ax.X.link_info
111Dumps the current state of the Link.
112.It Va dev.ax.X.drv_info
113Dumps the driver and controller firmware version information.
114.It Va dev.ax.X.YYYY_register
115.It Va dev.ax.X.YYYY_register_values
116Sysctl to dump a specific register from a specific block of the controller.
117YYYY specifies the block.
118The following blocks are supported.
119.Bl -bullet -compact
120.It
121xpcs
122.It
123xgmac
124.It
125xprop
126.It
127xi2c
128.El
129.Pp
130Set the offset of the register to the first variable, and then read the value
131of the register by reading the second variable.
132.It Va dev.ax.X.axgbe_debug_level
133Configure the log-level for the driver.
134Default is 0.
135Supports 0-3.
136.It Va dev.ax.X.link_workaround
137This variable enables the workaround for an intermittent link issue.
138When link does not come up for long time, this variable can be set to 1 to
139reset the phy and bring up the link.
140.El
141.Sh LOADER TUNABLES
142The following variable is available as
143.Xr loader.conf 5
144tunable.
145.Bl -tag -width indent
146.It Va dev.ax.X.sph_enable
147This variable controls split header feature for the interface.
148Default is 1, meaning the split header support is enabled.
149.Pp
150This variable must be set before loading the driver, either via
151.Xr loader.conf 5
152or through
153.Xr kenv 1 .
154This cannot be modified when driver is loaded.
155.Pp
156Setting this variable in
157.Xr loader.conf 5
158needs the system to be restarted to take effect.
159When using
160.Xr kenv 1 ,
161use the wrapper variable
162.Va dev.ax.sph_enable ,
163which will configure(enable/disable) split header support for all
164.Nm
165interfaces.
166.Pp
167To use netmap with this device, split header support must be disabled
168(set this variable to 0).
