egconfig(1M)

NAME
     egconfig - configure gigabit ethernet interfaces

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/etc/egconfig [-f [0|1]] [-l [0|1]] [-q] interface

DESCRIPTION
     egconfig is executed at system startup time to download the firmware for
     each gigabit Ethernet (''egN'') interface configured into the system.
     After egconfig executes, it is still necessary to use ifconfig(1M) to
     configure protocol addresses and other parameters.

     egconfig is run automatically at system startup.  It is also used to turn
     flow control and link negotiation on and off.

OPTIONS
     -f [n]
          Sets flow-control's state on the specified interface.  Valid options
          are 0 (off) or 1 (on).  If no value is specified, 0 (off) is
          implied.  This should only be used when attaching to equipment that
          does not support flow-control.  The default state for flow-control
          is on.  This flag can only be used when the card is marked down with
          ifconfig(1M) or in /etc/config/egN.options to set flow-control at
          boot time.

     -l [n]
          Sets link-negotiation's state on the specified interface.  Valid
          options are 0 (off) or 1 (on).  If no value is specified, 0 (off) is
          implied.  This should only be used when attaching to equipment that
          does not negotiate correctly. The default state for link-negotiation
          is on.  For LINK_PREF values 0, 1, 2, and 3 (see egcmd(1M)) link-
          negotiation will be on no matter what.  This flag can only be used
          when the card is marked down with ifconfig(1M) or in
          /etc/config/egN.options to set link-negotiation at boot time.

     -q   Queries the current state of flow-control and link-negotiation.  The
          state returned is only valid for LINK_PREF (see egcmd(1M)) values
          where changing these values is valid.
