Configure the Host Network Media
Note - To achieve 10 GbE network speeds, use Category 6 (or better) cables and network
devices that support 1000BASE-T networks.
The LEDs located above each NET port are Link/Activity (left) and Speed (right) indicators for
each port. The following table lists the Ethernet transfer rates and the Speed LED color.
Connection Type IEEE Terminology Speed LED Color Transfer Rate
Fast Ethernet 100BASE-TX Off 100 Mbits/sec
Gigabit Ethernet 1000BASE-T Amber 1,000 Mbits/sec
10 Gigabit Ethernet 10GBASE-T Green 10,000 Mbits/sec
Configure the Host Network Media
The host uses three network ports on the system, one i210 based 1-gigabyte copper port and two
ports attached to the BCM onboard network controller, which uses either two 10-gigabyte RJ-
45 copper ports or two SFP+/SFP28 cages. Configure the host network media by selecting the
media type for the ports in Oracle ILOM or the BIOS options for the BCM network controller.
Note - If the auto_media_detection option is enabled, and both SFP and RJ-45 ports are plugged
in, the system defaults to the SFP ports, and the RJ-45 ports are not usable.
1.
In Oracle ILOM, change the onboard host network media.
For example, change the enabled SFP28 port to the RJ-45 port.
