devlink port set - change devlink port attributes¶

DEV/PORT_INDEX - specifies the devlink port to operate on.

Format is:
BUS_NAME/BUS_ADDRESS/PORT_INDEX

type { eth | ib | auto }

set port type

eth - Ethernet

ib - Infiniband

auto - autoselect

devlink port split - split devlink port into more¶

DEV/PORT_INDEX - specifies the devlink port to operate on.

count COUNT

number of ports to split to.

devlink port unsplit - unsplit previously split devlink port¶

Could be performed on any split port of the same split group.

DEV/PORT_INDEX - specifies the devlink port to operate on.

devlink port show - display devlink port attributes¶

DEV/PORT_INDEX - specifies the devlink port to show. If this argument is omitted all ports are listed.

devlink port health - devlink health reporting and recovery¶

Is an alias for devlink-health(8).

devlink port add - add a devlink port¶

DEV - specifies the devlink device to operate on. or

DEV/PORT_INDEX - specifies the devlink port index to use for the requested new port. This is optional. When ommited, driver allocates unique port index.

flavour { pcipf | pcisf }

set port flavour

pcipf - PCI PF port

pcisf - PCI SF port

pfnum { pfnumber }

Specifies PCI pfnumber to use on which a SF device to create

sfnum { sfnumber }

Specifies sfnumber to assign to the device of the SF. This field is optional for those devices which supports auto assignment of the SF number.

devlink port function set - Set the port function attribute(s).¶

DEV/PORT_INDEX - specifies the devlink port to operate on.

hw_addr ADDR

- hardware address of the function to set. This is a Ethernet MAC address when port type is Ethernet.

state { active | inactive }

- new state of the function to change to.

active - Once configuration of the function is done, activate the function.

inactive - To inactivate the function and its device(s), set to inactive.

devlink port del - delete a devlink port¶

DEV/PORT_INDEX - specifies the devlink port to delete.

devlink port param set - set new value to devlink port configuration parameter¶

DEV/PORT_INDEX - specifies the devlink port to operate on.

name PARAMETER

Specify parameter name to set.

value VALUE

New value to set.

cmode { runtime | driverinit | permanent }

Configuration mode in which the new value is set.

runtime - Set new value while driver is running. This configuration mode doesn't require any reset to apply the new value.

driverinit - Set new value which will be applied during driver initialization. This configuration mode requires restart driver by devlink reload command to apply the new value.

permanent - New value is written to device's non-volatile memory. This configuration mode requires hard reset to apply the new value.

devlink port param show - display devlink port supported configuration parameters attributes¶

DEV/PORT_INDEX - specifies the devlink port to operate on.

name PARAMETER Specify parameter name to show. If this argument, as well as port index, are omitted - all parameters supported by devlink device ports are listed.
