Installing and Configuring 10/100Base-TX/9000
Compatibility and Installation Requirements
Manually configuring the speed or duplex setting of a switch port on
some switches may disable that switch port from doing autonegotiation.
Verify that both the card and the switch port are operating in the same
speed and duplex mode as desired.
If you use manual configuration to change the card to a different speed
and duplex mode, you may need to turn autonegotiation on first before
the manual setting takes place.
Mismatches between the speed, autonegotiation, or duplex mode of the
card and switch will cause incorrect operation.
Specific items for each installed 10/100Base-TX interface card can be
configured by creating an array of variables, where each array index
corresponds to one interface card; refer to the existing contents of the
hpBasetconf file for more detail. For each 10/100Base-TX interface card
whose duplex mode is to be set, entries of the following form must be
made in the hpBasetconf file:
HP_BaseT_INTERFACE_NAME[n]= NameUnit
HP_BaseT_SPEED[n]= [10HD 10FD 100HD 100FD auto_on]
NameUnit is the name of the interface to be configured, which can be
determined from the output of the lanscan command. n is the array
index which should start at 0 but which itself bears no relation to specific
interfaces.
For example, if the name of the 10/100Base-TX interface to configure as
shown by lanscan is lan3, and this is the only interface to be configured,
the entries in the hpBasetconf file to “permanently” configure this
interface to full duplex mode across system reboots would be:
HP_BaseT_INTERFACE_NAME[0]=lan3
HP_BaseT_SPEED[0]=[10FD 100FD auto_on]
If there were a second 10/100Base-TX interface with the name of lan4 on
the system whose duplex mode were also to be “permanently” configured
to full-duplex, the additional entries in the hpBasetconf file would be:
HP_BaseT_INTERFACE_NAME[1]=lan4
HP_BaseT_SPEED[1]=[10FD 100FD auto_on]
To determine the current duplex mode of the card, use the -x option of
the lanadmin command as explained earlier.
