For example, to set a 1000Base-T card to 100 Mbit/s, full-duplex, the
configuration file entry would be:
HP_GELAN_SPEED=100fd
or
HP_IGELAN_SPEED=100fd
— 1000Base-SX cards
To configure the card for autonegotiation, enter the 1 parameter in the driver
configuration file:
HP_GELAN_AUTONEG=1
Since the 1000Base-SX card only works at 1000 Mbit/s, there is no need to
set a speed parameter.
If you wish to disable autonegotiation, you may do so by using the 0
parameter in the driver configuration file:
HP_GELAN_AUTONEG=0
This will set the card to no autonegotiation and full-duplex.
• Receive flow control
Flow control allows use of flow control negotiation and the sending and receiving of
pause frames. When the flow control parameter is on, the card receives and manages
pause frames sent by the link partner. When the flow control parameter is off, the
card will silently discard these pause frames. The card cannot be configured to send
pause frames.
The default value is ON.
Using the lanadmin Tool with Gigabit Ethernet
This section explains the options available in lanadmin to support the Gigabit Ethernet
driver and how to use them. The lanadmin(1M) tool is used to display and set
parameters, as specified by the following commands:
NOTE When your system is rebooted, settings that were made via the lanadmin(1M) command
will be lost. To retain configuration settings permanently in the configuration file
(/etc/rc.config.d/hpgelanconf or /etc/rc.config.d/hpigelanconf), use the SAM
utility or manually edit the configuration file.
• To display the card’s station address, enter:
$ lanadmin -a ppa
• To set the card’s station address, enter:
10 Full-duplex 10fd
100 Half-duplex 100hd
100 Full-duplex 100fd
