Overview

The arswitch driver provides a management interface to Atheros AR8000 series Ethernet switch controllers. The driver uses an mdio(4) or miibus(4) interface to configure the ethernet interface.

This driver supports port based vlan, and IEEE 802.1Q (QinQ). These options can be configured with the etherswitchcfg(8) command. arswitch supports addtag, striptag, and doubletag. addtag and striptag are mutually exclusive.

Setting the switch MAC address is not supported.
