Before configuring the DAG card

Before configuring the FPGA, ensure the following actions have been completed on each installed DAG

card:

• memory allocated to each DAG card.

• DAG drivers installed for each DAG card.

Note:

Before using the DAG card to capture or transmit traffic remember to run

dagconfig -dX default

(Where X is the device number of the DAG card you want to configure).

For further details, see Resetting DAG card Operational Settings (page 15).

Linux operating systems

In Linux operating systems, use the following applications:

•

dagmem has been run and memory allocated to each installed DAG card.

•

dagload has been run so that all DAG drivers have been installed.

Note:

dagmem

controls the amount of memory assigned to each DAG card. To change the memory assignments

dagmem

must be reloaded, which may require a reboot. Refer to

EDM04-32 dagmem Software Guide

For further details, refer to the

Installing the drivers

section for the required operating system in

Windows Server operating systems

In Windows Server operating systems, use the DAG Devices tool to allocate memory to each installed

DAG card, and install DAG drivers for each installed DAG card.

For further details, refer to the
