Lan speed

[Carme Torca]

Hi,

I have a D280 model with a lan interface. This interface its a lan 10 Base-T

> model
9000/810/D280
> ioscan -fnClan
Class I H/W Path Driver S/W State H/W Type Description
===================================================================
lan 0 8/16/6 lan2 CLAIMED INTERFACE Built-in LAN
/dev/diag/lan0 /dev/ether0

Now its configured with 10.000 Half duplex. Could I configured this target to 100.000 Full duplex?

Thanks a lot of!,
Carmen.

Nope!

Nope, I don't think so. If I recall correctly the built in LAN on the D series are 10 Mbit only.

If the card does not support this speed and duplex setting, you can't do it.

Still if you modify the files to make it so, system will give you errors.

The built in lan card on d boxes is 10 BT only.

If you use the lanadmin command on it, you'll get the following message:

Error: This option is not supported on this hardware.

All de D200 serie's have a 10Mb card onboard.

Groetjes.

Carmen,

The "lan2" hardware is 10MBit HALF DUPLEX only. You can use the J3515A/J3516A HSC 100BaseT cards which have great performance. If you use 11.11 the drivers are on the base OS, but for 11.0 you might have to pull them off the first Applications CD. Do NOT get one of the old EISA cards A3658A or A4308B even though they are cheap they are slow and half duplex only.
HTH,

Also remember that you can't access the EISA bus (and cards) if your OS is 64 bits...
