Installing and Configuring 10/100Base-TX/9000 Introduction Introduction The HP-PB 10/100Base-TX/9000 product provides the means for interfacing various types of HP 9000 Series 800 computers to either a 10Base-T or 100Base-TX network. Refer to the Release Notes for the list of supported systems. 100Base-TX is a subset of 100Base-T networking defined by the IEEE 802.3u-1995 standard. 100Base-TX provides 100 Mbit/s data transmission over category 5 unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable. Two pairs of wi

Installing and Configuring 10/100Base-TX/9000 Compatibility and Installation Requirements Compatibility and Installation Requirements Following are the compatibility requirements of the HP-PB 10/100Base-TX/9000: • The HP-PB 10/100Base-TX/9000 card supports autonegotiation and autosensing. You should not normally need to manually configure the speed, autonegotiation, or duplex mode of the card. If your switch does not support autonegotiation but is set to full-duplex mode, there may be a mismatch b

Installing and Configuring 10/100Base-TX/9000 Compatibility and Installation Requirements Manual Speed and Duplex Mode Configuration Because the HP-PB 10/100Base-TX/9000 card supports autonegotiation, you should not normally need to manually set the duplex mode. Sometimes you may need to manually set the duplex mode of the card--for example, if the switch is operating at full duplex but does not autonegotiate. Because the card defaults to half-duplex when autonegotiation is turned off, this could

Installing and Configuring 10/100Base-TX/9000 Compatibility and Installation Requirements To list the current speed and duplex mode of the HP-PB 10/100Base-TX/9000 card, use the-x option (NOTE: lowercasex) of the lanadmin command. Determine the speed and duplex mode of your hub or switch before performing manual configuration as follows: lanadmin -x ppa (HP-UX 10.30 or 11.0) lanadmin -x nmid (HP-UX 10.20) To manually set the duplex mode of the interface, install one of the patches above and then u

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 p

Installing and Configuring 10/100Base-TX/9000 Compatibility and Installation Requirements Autonegotiation and Autosensing Autonegotiation is a mechanism defined in the IEEE 802.3u specification whereby devices sharing a link segment can exchange information and automatically configure themselves to operate at the highest capability mode shared between them. Autonegotiation is like a rotary switch that automatically switches to the correct technology such as 10Base-T or 100Base-TX or between half- an

NOTE If the HP-PB 10/100Base-TX/9000 card is connected to a device that does not support autonegotiation or a device that has autonegotiation disabled, the HP-PB card will autosense the speed of the link and set itself accordingly.
