NAME
arswitch - driver for Atheros Fast Ethernet switch

SYNOPSIS
device mdio
device etherswitch
device arswitch

DESCRIPTION
The arswitch device driver provides a management interface to multiple Atheros fast ethernet switch chips:
AR7240
    Wireless Network Processor SOC with five Fast Ethernet PHYs
AR8216
    Fast Ethernet Switch
AR8226
AR8316
    Six-port Gigabit Ethernet Switch
AR8327
    Seven-port Gigabit Ethernet Switch
AR9340
    Wireless networking SoC

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.
