networking A4924-60001 1000base SX fibre
Greetings all,

I have this HSC fibre card (A4924-60001) in a kbox running 11.o. What I would like to know is this: should i be getting a link LED on the card when a physical connection exists? or should I only get a link once everything is patched up and drivers loaded. Also, can I connect this 1000 base fibre card to a 100base switch? Is it a REQUIREMENT to go from 1000base -> 1000base?
(when what is a switch for?) I have a cisco catalyst 2900 with optional dual port 100base fibre card installed, i go from the k into to cisco, and no link. I can plug each end of the fibre cable in the cisco and get a link that way, just to make sure the LEDS are working. Do you need to set topology with fibre networking? private loop, arbitrated loop, public loop etc? With ethernet you get a link led when there is a physical connection no matter if there are drivers controlling your card or not, not true with fibre? I've packed a lunch, someone take me to school on this one please!

NAME

     cas -- Cassini/Cassini+ (GigaSwift) Ethernet device driver

SYNOPSIS

     cas* at pci? dev ? function ?

     Configuration of PHYs may also be necessary.  See mii(4).

DESCRIPTION

     The cas driver provides support for the Sun Cassini and Cassini+ (GigaSwift) and the National Semiconductor Saturn Ethernet hardware found in
     Sun UltraSPARC machines and Sun GigaSwift PCI cards.

     Cards supported by this driver include:
	   o   Sun Gigaswift Ethernet (SX fibre variants)
	   o   Sun Gigaswift Ethernet (UTP variants)
	   o   Sun quad Gigaswift Ethernet

SEE ALSO

     brgphy(4), gentbi(4), gphyter(4), ifmedia(4), intro(4), mii(4), ifconfig(8)

     Sun Microsystems, Cassini+ ASIC Specification, http://www.sun.com/processors/manuals/cs_plus.pdf.

HISTORY

     The cas driver first appeared in OpenBSD 4.1.  NetBSD support was added in NetBSD 6.0.

AUTHORS

     The cas driver was written for OpenBSD by Mark Kettenis <kettenis@openbsd.org>, based on the gem(4) driver, and ported to NetBSD by Julian
     Coleman <jdc@NetBSD.org>.

BUGS

     The cas driver does not support any of the advanced features of the Cassini chip.

     On the SX fibre variants of the hardware, the link may stay down if media options apart from autoselect are chosen.
