farutil [-v] interface command [parameters...]
The -v option can be used at any time to report additional information.
Note that the naming convention for the interface used in the farutil command will depend on which protocol stack is being used, as follows:
farutil < ifname > set [parameters]
where:
ifname is hdlcX, e.g. hdlc0
The list of card parameters that can be used with
the farutil command is given here.
Examples: farutil < ifname > create [dlci]
where:
farutil hdlc0 set media e1 proto cisco mode master datarate 64000 startslot 15
farutil sync0 set media x21 proto ppp clock ext
farutil sync0 set proto cisco interval 100 timeout 5
farutil hdlc0 set proto fr lmi ansi
Create FR dlci
To create a dlci on an existing frame relay interface, the farutil command should be used in the
following format:
ifname is a name of the form hdlcX, e.g. hdlc0
Note: The ifname interface must already exist.
Example:
farutil hdlc0 create 16
Delete FR dlci
To delete an existing dlci, the farutil command should be used in the
following format:
farutil < ifname > delete [dlci]
where:
ifname is a name of the form hdlcX, e.g. hdlc0
dlci
is a number in the range 16 to 1023
Note: The ifname interface must already exist.
Example:
farutil hdlc0 delete 16
Display card details
To display card details the farutil command should be used in the following
format:
farutil < ifname > card
This will display the following information:
[root@minion common]# farutil sync0 card card: T2P FarSync WAN T-Series ports: 2 state: Running normally [root@minion common]#[root@minion common]#
For a Flex USB device the following will be displayed:
[root@zaphod kernel2.6-oem]# farutil sync4 card
card: FarSync Flex WAN
ports: 1
state: Running normally
root@zaphod kernel2.6-oem]#
farutil < ifname > info
This will display the following information:
[root@minion common]# farutil sync0 info
card: T2U Farsync WAN T-Series
ports: 2
state: Running normally
firmware id: 3
firmware vers: 0.00.03
Configuration for port 0
physical: X.21 (RS422/V.11)
cable status: Cable presence detected
active inputs: Indicate
active outputs: Control
clock: External, Detected
speed: 0
protocol: Sync PPP
Note
When dual clocking mode has been configured the physical interface will displayed as x21d.
When the clock phase has been inverted, the clock will be displayed as Internal/Inverted
Download firmware
To down load the card firmware the farutil command should be used in the
following format:
farutil < ifname > load [bios] [firmware]
where:
ifname
Example:
[root@minion common]# farutil -v sync0 load downloads/trtbios.cde downloads/farsync2.cde BIOS code start address: 0000:0550 BIOS code header size : 512 bytes Skipping 484 header bytes Read 2934 bytes of BIOS code Firmware start address: 018A:0016 Firmware header size : 512 bytes Read 9728 bytes of Firmware Card running [root@minion common]#
To display port transmit and receive statistics the farutil command can be used in the following format:
farutil < ifname > statsThis will display the following information:
card: T2U FarSync WAN T-Series ports: 2 state: Running normally Port Statistics: Rx packets 254085708 Rx bytes 259450471210 Tx packets 252438310 Tx bytes 255695421894 Rx errors 2 Tx errors 34 Rx dropped 0 Tx dropped 0 Rx errors detail: Tx errors detail: Rx length 0 Tx aborted 18 Rx over run 0 Tx carrier 0 Rx crc 2 Tx fifo 0 Rx frame 2 Tx under run 0 Rx fifo 0
farutil hdlcX set led flashwill identify the board to which the interface syncX is attached to by causing the board's status LEDs to flash continuously. Normal operation of the LEDs can be restored with:
farutil hdlcX set led normal
