hpbase100conf file

[Clarence Rebolledo]

if the entry HP_BASE100_SPEED has not been set, does that mean the server will default to half duplex or will it detect the speed of the switch.

[A. Clay Stephenson]

I'm not sure what it defaults to but it really doesn't matter. You absolutely, positively want to hard set it to the desired value and then hard set the other end of the connection at the switch to the same value. You do not want to use auto-negotiate as it is far from reliable.

if I change the configuration on the fly for now, will the system need to be reboot or will it take affect with I set it to 100fd where now it is at 100fd.

[Sandip Ghosh]

Yes , you can do it online. If you change in that file it will do at the next reboot.
For now you can do it through lanadmin.
#lanadmin -X 100FD

will it be as follows to turn off auto-negotiation.

lanadmin -X 100FD, auto_off 5
