Preface The information in this manual is intended for network managers who install and administer 10/100Base-TX networks and Wide Ultra2 SCSI devices. It is assumed the reader is experienced with the basics of local and wide area networking and SCSI technology. This manual describes how to install, configure, and troubleshoot the 10/ 100Base-TX and SCSI software and hardware product on HP 9000 PCI systems. The manual is organized as follows: Chapter 1 , “Installing and Configuring PCI 10/100 Base

Installing and Configuring PCI 10/100 Base-TX Compatibility and Installation Requirements Compatibility and Installation Requirements Following are the limits of the current PCI 10/100Base-TX/9000: • The PCI 10/100Base-TX/9000 ports support 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 between the card

Installing and Configuring PCI 10/100 Base-TX Manual Speed and Duplex Mode Configuration Manual Speed and Duplex Mode Configuration Because the PCI 10/100Base-TX/9000 LAN ports support 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 c

Installing and Configuring PCI 10/100 Base-TX Manual Speed and Duplex Mode Configuration To manually set the duplex mode of the PCI ports, first ensure that your computer has the latest applicable patches installed as listed in the Required and Optional Patches section of this release note. To list the current speed and duplex mode of the PCI 10/100Base-TX/9000 ports, use the -x option (NOTE: lowercase x) of the lanadmin command. Determine the speed and duplex mode of your hub or switch before perf

Installing and Configuring PCI 10/100 Base-TX Manual Speed and Duplex Mode Configuration 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. NOTE Mismatches between the speed, autonegotiation, or duplex mo

Installing and Configuring PCI 10/100 Base-TX Autonegotiation and Autosensing 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- and full-duple

Installing and Configuring PCI 10/100 Base-TX What Manuals are Available If a PCI 10/100Base-TX/9000 port is connected to a device, such as a switch, that is autonegotiating, the PCI card will autonegotiate with the device to mutually determine the highest possible speed and duplex settings between them. NOTE If a PCI 10/100Base-TX/9000 port is connected to a device that does not support autonegotiation or a device that has autonegotiation disabled, the PCI port will autosense the speed of the li

Configuring Network Connectivity Using SAM Step 1: Configuring Network Connectivity Step 1: Configuring Network Connectivity Your system may not be able to communicate with other systems, for example, PCs, workstations, servers, etc., until you configure system-to-system connections by adding an entry in hosts for the remote system. You can use SAM to do this automatically by completing the following steps: 1. At the HP-UX prompt, type:sam 2. Double click Networking and Communications at the SAM mai
