igelan speed setting

[John Guster]

# lanadmin -X 100FD 0
# lanadmin -x 0
The link is down. The speed and other link state information
are undefined. The configuration specified for this card is:
Speed = 100 Full-Duplex.
Autonegotiation = Off.

# lanadmin -X auto_on 0

# lanadmin -x 0
Speed = 100 Half-Duplex.
Autonegotiation = On.

Now network is online, but the speed is 100HD. How to set it to 100FD? What else needs be done on server side?

If it's a Gig lancard you do not want autonegotiate off.

To set from command line:
lanadmin -X 100FD 0

Then go into /etc/rc.config.d/hpigelanconf and edit the file to make this permanent - so it will be set automatically on next reboot.

Then make sure your switch port has the same settings - talk to your network person to confirm they set the port the same.

what does the ioscan for this card show?

If it is a gig card you should put "auto_on" in the speed in the hpigelanconf file and AUTONEG=1.

Port of the switch also should be set to 100FD.

we don't have Gig network switch. Per network guy that it is set to 100FD, so should it set the same on server. It is igelan.
If set to auto_on, it bring network up, but it is 100FD. lanadmin -X auto_on is to get speed setting outside the server, is it?

[Pete Randall]

So your gig card should still be set to auto and it will figure out how to interact with the 100FD switch port.

And, for that matter, the port on the switch should be set to auto as well.

Attached is boilerplate about how 100Base-T AutoNeg works.

John,

if you are setting 100FD, make sure you install PHNE_35692

Intermittently, links between back to back ports on

A6825A, A7109A, A6794A and some Core I/O (with 5701)

cards and links between A6825A, A7109A, A6794A and

some Core I/O (with 5701) cards and 100BT switch

ports may fail to establish when the systems boot up.

Subsequent boots will allow the links to start.
