NAME
     fddi - IRIS-4D Series FDDI controllers

DESCRIPTION
     The IRIS-4D Series supports local-area networking with the Fiber
     Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) token ring.  The FDDI protocol is
     supported with a hardware controller, a kernel driver, and a Station
     Management (SMT) daemon.  Though the controllers may be different among
     IRIS-4Ds and over time, their drivers and the daemon provide the same
     programming interface to networking routines.

     The IRIS-4D FDDI controller is named using the following convention:

     Controller name   Type              IRIS model
     ipg0, ipg1, ...   Single MAC,       (Power) Challenge DM/L/XL, (Power) Onyx
                       Dual attachment
     rns0, rns1, ...   Single MAC,       O2/OCTANE/Origin/Onyx2
                       SAS, DAS, CDDI
     xpi0, xpi1, ...   Single MAC,       Indy/Indigo/Indigo2/Indigo2 IMPACT
                       SAS or DAS
     xpi0, xpi1, ...   Single MAC,       (Power) Challenge/DM/L/XL, (Power) Onyx
                       SAS or DAS
     xpi0, xpi1, ...   Double MAC,       (Power) Challenge/DM/L/XL, (Power) Onyx
                       SAS or DAS


     The FDDI boards are initialized during system startup with smtconfig from
     /etc/init.d/network (see network(1M) for details).

DIAGNOSTICS
     Various error messages are printed by the kernel when a problem is
     encountered.  The message is preceded by the controller name, for
     example, ipg0.  If they occur repeatedly, contact your product support
     service for assistance.  Use the hinv(1M) command to determine the
     hardware revision number.  Counts of FDDI input and output errors can be
     displayed with the command netstat -i (see netstat(1M)).  FDDI status
     monitoring can be done using smtstat(1).
