# NAME

`ixv` — Intel 10Gb Ethernet virtual function device

# SYNOPSIS

`ixv* at pci?`

# DESCRIPTION

The `ixv` driver supports the SR-IOV virtual functions of Intel 82598EB, 82599, and X540-based Ethernet controller devices.

# SEE ALSO

arp(4), ifmedia(4), intro(4), ix(4), netintro(4), pci(4), hostname.if(5), ifconfig(8)

# HISTORY

The `ixv` driver first appeared in OpenBSD 7.7.

# AUTHORS

The `ixv` driver was written by Intel Corporation and ported to OpenBSD by NAITO Yuichiro.

# BUGS

The VF relies on “vlan-filter” to receive VLAN-tagged packets. Because the current driver doesn't have a way to configure it, any VLAN-tagged packets will not be passed. Alternatively, on the host running the primary function, there might be a way to configure a VLAN ID.
