Re: %EWA0 possible duplex mode mismatch condition detected
BTW my second site with this issue had changed their switch to half duplex which caused the errors at that site.

Re: %EWA0 possible duplex mode mismatch condition detected
Try this:
$ MCR LANCP SHOW DEVICE EWA0/INTERNAL
You will need PHY_IO privilege.
At the bottom you'll see "Driver Messages" which will give the state of the adapter. You may see something like:
12-FEB-2007 11:57:08.64 Auto-negotiation mode set by console (EWA0_MODE)
or
12-FEB-2007 11:57:08.72 FastFD mode set by console
If it's auto-negotiation, the messages should also say what was negotiated and when.
The rule is very simple. Both ends of the wire must be set the same.
Personally I recommend AUTO everywhere, as that's the default for most switches.

Re: %EWA0 possible duplex mode mismatch condition detected
In general for EW 10/100 devices I prefer to set the speed and duplex at the console (eg: set ewa0_mode fastfd) and set the speed and duplex identically at the switch end as well.
For EW Gigabit devices (Broadcomm based I think) I let them autonegotiate as it then does a better job of link failure detection.
For EI devices I usually let them autonegotiate as the Intel 82559 based NICs seem to do autonegotiate better than the DEC SGEC, LANCE and other such chips used in the earlier Alpha NICs.
What is a real pain is if the site uses unmanaged switches and the Alpha NIC doesn't do autonegotiate well with that switch. I have that myself with my old PSW500au and a 3Com 10/100 switch, so I generally see what the switch thinks (look at the LEDs), then set the Alpha to the same state at console level. Usually works.
Cheers, Colin (www.xdelta.co.uk).
