stream provided by MASTER. Not all devices support this.
mdix auto|on|off
Selects MDI-X mode for port.
May be used to override the automatic detection feature of
most adapters. An argument of auto means automatic
detection of MDI status, on forces MDI-X (crossover)
mode, while off means MDI (straight through) mode.
The driver should guarantee that this command takes effect
immediately, and if necessary may reset the link to cause
the change to take effect.

|
Sets RSS hash function of the specified network device.
List of RSS hash functions which kernel supports is shown as
a part of the --show-rxfh command output. |
|
xfrm |
|
Sets the RSS input transformation. Currently, only the
symmetric-xor transformation is supported where the
NIC XORs the L3 and/or L4 source and destination fields (as
selected by --config-nfc rx-flow-hash ) before
passing them to the hash algorithm. The RSS hash function
will then yield the same hash for the other flow direction
where the source and destination fields are swapped (i.e.
Symmetric RSS). Note that XORing the input parameters
reduces the entropy of the input set and the hash algorithm
could potentially be exploited. Switch off (default) by
xfrm none. |

weight options, sets the starting receive queue for
spreading flows to N.
equal N
Sets the receive flow hash
indirection table to spread flows evenly between the first
N receive queues.

decodes the EEPROM from plugin modules, e.g SFP+, QSFP. If
the driver and module support it, the optical diagnostic
information is also read and decoded. When either one of
page, bank or i2c parameters is specified,
dumps only of a single page or its portion is allowed. In
such a case offset and length parameters are
treated relatively to EEPROM page boundaries.
--show-priv-flags

Power Down (EDPD) should be enabled (if supported). This
will put the RX and TX circuit blocks into a low power mode,
and the PHY will wake up periodically to send link pulses to
avoid any lock-up situation with a peer PHY that may also
have EDPD enabled. By default, this setting will also enable
the periodic transmission of TX pulses.
--get-phy-tunable
Gets the PHY tunable
parameters.
downshift
For operation in cabling
environments that are incompatible with 1000BASE-T, PHY
device provides an automatic link speed downshift operation.

auto-negotiation attempts. Downshift is useful where cable
does not have the 4 pairs instance.
Gets the PHY
downshift count/status.
fast-link-down
Depending on the mode it may
take 0.5s - 1s until a broken link is reported as down. In
certain use cases a link-down event needs to be reported as
soon as possible. Some PHYs support a Fast Link Down Feature
and may allow configuration of the delay before a broken
link is reported as being down.

--show-fec
Queries the specified network
device for its support of Forward Error Correction.
--set-fec
Configures Forward Error
Correction for the specified network device.
Forward Error
Correction modes selected by a user are expected to be
persisted after any hotplug events. If a module is swapped
that does not support the current FEC mode, the driver or
firmware must take the link down administratively and report
the problem in the system logs for users to correct.
encoding auto|off|rs|baser|llrs [...]
Sets the FEC
encoding for the device. Combinations of options are
specified as e.g. encoding auto rs ; the semantics of
such combinations vary between drivers.
-Q|--per-queue
Applies provided sub command to
specific queues.
queue_mask %x
Sets the specific queues which
the sub command is applied to. If queue_mask is not set, the
sub command will be applied to all queues.
sub_command
Sub command to apply. The
supported sub commands include --show-coalesce and
--coalesce.
--cable-test
Perform a cable test and report
the results. What results are returned depends on the
capabilities of the network interface. Typically open pairs
and shorted pairs can be reported, along with pairs being
O.K. When a fault is detected the approximate distance to
the fault may be reported.
--cable-test-tdr
Perform a cable test and report
the raw Time Domain Reflectometer data. A pulse is sent down
a cable pair and the amplitude of the reflection, for a
given distance, is reported. A break in the cable returns a
big reflection. Minor damage to the cable returns a small
reflection. If the cable is shorted, the amplitude of the
reflection can be negative. By default, data is returned for
lengths between 0 and 150m at 1m steps, for all pairs.
However parameters can be passed to restrict the collection
of data. It should be noted, that the interface will round
the distances to whatever granularity is actually
implemented. This is often 0.8 of a meter. The results
should include the actual rounded first and last distance
and step size.
first N
Distance along the cable, in
meters, where the first measurement should be made.
last N
Distance along the cable, in
meters, where the last measurement should be made.
step N
Distance, in meters, between
each measurement.
pair N
Which pair should be measured.
Typically a cable has 4 pairs. 0 = Pair A, 1 = Pair B,
...
--monitor
Listens to netlink notification
and displays them.
command
If argument matching a command
is used, ethtool only shows notifications of this type.
Without such argument or with --all, all notification types
are shown.
devname
If a device name is used as
argument, only notification for this device are shown.
Default is to show notifications for all devices.
--show-tunnels
Show tunnel-related device
capabilities and state. List UDP ports kernel has programmed
the device to parse as VxLAN, or GENEVE tunnels.
--show-module
Show the transceiver
module’s parameters.
--set-module
Set the transceiver
module’s parameters.
power-mode-policy high|auto
Set the power mode policy for
the module. When set to high, the module always
operates at high power mode. When set to auto, the
module is transitioned by the host to high power mode when
the first port using it is put administratively up and to
low power mode when the last port using it is put
administratively down. The power mode policy can be set
before a module is plugged-in.
--get-plca-cfg
Show the current PLCA
parameters for the given interface.
--set-plca-cfg
Change the PLCA settings for
the given interface.
enable on|off
Enables or disables the PLCA
function. When the PLCA RS is disabled (default), the PHY
operates in plain CSMA/CD mode. To enable PLCA, the PHY must
be assigned a unique plca-id other than 255. This one
can be configured concurrently with the enable parameter.
The enable parameter maps to IEEE 802.3cg-2019 clause
30.16.1.1.1 (aPLCAAdminState) and clause 30.16.1.2.1
(acPLCAAdminControl).
node-id N
The unique node identifier in
the range [0 .. 255]. Node ID 0 is reserved for the
coordinator node, the one generating the BEACON signal.
There must be exactly one coordinator on a PLCA network.
Setting the node ID to 255 (default) disables the node. This
parameter maps to IEEE 802.3cg-2019 clause 30.16.1.1.4
(aPLCALocalNodeID).
node-cnt N
The node-cnt [1 .. 255] should
be set after the maximum number of nodes that can be plugged
to the multi-drop network. This parameter regulates the
minimum length of the PLCA cycle. Therefore, it is only
meaningful for the coordinator node (nod-id = 0).
Setting this parameter on a follower node has no effect. The
node-cnt parameter maps to IEEE 802.3cg-2019 clause
30.16.1.1.3 (aPLCANodeCount).
to-tmr N
The TO timer parameter sets the
value of the transmit opportunity timer in bit-times, and
shall be set equal across all the nodes sharing the same
medium for PLCA to work. The default value of 32 is enough
to cover a link of roughly 50 mt. This parameter maps to
IEEE 802.3cg-2019 clause 30.16.1.1.5
(aPLCATransmitOpportunityTimer).
burst-cnt N
The burst-cnt parameter
[0 .. 255] indicates the extra number of packets that the
node is allowed to send during a single transmit
opportunity. By default, this attribute is 0, meaning that
the node can send a sigle frame per TO. When greater than 0,
the PLCA RS keeps the TO after any transmission, waiting for
the MAC to send a new frame for up to burst-tmr BTs.
This can only happen a number of times per PLCA cycle up to
the value of this parameter. After that, the burst is over
and the normal counting of TOs resumes. This parameter maps
to IEEE 802.3cg-2019 clause 30.16.1.1.6
(aPLCAMaxBurstCount).
burst-tmr N
The burst-tmr parameter
[0 .. 255] sets how many bit-times the PLCA RS waits for the
MAC to initiate a new transmission when burst-cnt is
greater than 0. If the MAC fails to send a new frame within
this time, the burst ends and the counting of TOs resumes.
Otherwise, the new frame is sent as part of the current
burst. This parameter maps to IEEE 802.3cg-2019 clause
30.16.1.1.7 (aPLCABurstTimer). The value of burst-tmr
should be set greater than the Inter-Frame-Gap (IFG) time of
the MAC (plus some margin) for PLCA burst mode to work as
intended.
--get-plca-status
Show the current PLCA status
for the given interface. If on, the PHY is
successfully receiving or generating the BEACON signal. If
off, the PLCA function is temporarily disabled and
the PHY is operating in plain CSMA/CD mode.
--show-mm
Show the MAC Merge layer state.
The ethtool argument -I --include-statistics can be
used with this command, and MAC Merge layer statistics
counters will also be retrieved.
pmac-enabled
Shows whether the pMAC is
enabled and capable of receiving traffic and SMD-V frames
(and responding to them with SMD-R replies).
tx-enabled
Shows whether transmission on
the pMAC is administratively enabled.
tx-active
Shows whether transmission on
the pMAC is active (verification is either successful, or
was disabled).
tx-min-frag-size
Shows the minimum size (in
octets) of transmitted non-final fragments which can be
received by the link partner. Corresponds to the standard
addFragSize variable using the formula:
tx-min-frag-size
= 64 * (1 + addFragSize) - 4
rx-min-frag-size
Shows the minimum size (in
octets) of non-final fragments which the local device
supports receiving.
verify-enabled
Shows whether the verification
state machine is enabled. This process, if successful,
ensures that preemptible frames transmitted by the local
device will not be dropped as error frames by the link
partner.
verify-time
Shows the interval in ms
between verification attempts, represented as an integer
between 1 and 128 ms. The standard defines a fixed number of
verification attempts (verifyLimit) before failing the
verification process.
max-verify-time
Shows the maximum value for
verify-time accepted by the local device, which may be less
than 128 ms.
verify-status
Shows the current state of the
verification state machine of the local device. Values can
be INITIAL, VERIFYING, SUCCEEDED, FAILED or
DISABLED.
--set-mm
Set the MAC Merge layer
parameters.
pmac-enabled on|off
Enable reception for the
pMAC.
tx-enabled on|off
Administatively enable
transmission for the pMAC.
tx-min-frag-size
N
Set the minimum size (in
octets) of transmitted non-final fragments which can be
received by the link partner.
verify-enabled on|off
Enable or disable the
verification state machine.
verify-time N
Set the interval in ms between
verification attempts.
--show-pse
Show the current Power Sourcing
Equipment (PSE) status for the given interface.
podl-pse-admin-state
This attribute indicates the
operational status of PoDL PSE functions, which can be
modified using the podl-pse-admin-control parameter.
It corresponds to IEEE 802.3-2018 30.15.1.1.2
(aPoDLPSEAdminState), with potential values being
enabled, disabled
podl-pse-power-detection-status
This attribute indicates the
power detection status of the PoDL PSE. The status depend on
internal PSE state machine and automatic PD classification
support. It corresponds to IEEE 802.3-2018 30.15.1.1.3
(aPoDLPSEPowerDetectionStatus) with potential values being
disabled, searching, delivering power, sleep, idle,
error
--set-pse
Set Power Sourcing Equipment
(PSE) parameters.
podl-pse-admin-control enable|disable
This parameter manages PoDL PSE
Admin operations in accordance with the IEEE 802.3-2018
30.15.1.2.1 (acPoDLPSEAdminControl) specification.
Not supported
(in part or whole) on all network drivers.
