Note 1: To configure values permanently, edit the configuration files. Using lanadmin
will not preserve your settings across reboots.
Note 2: The speed configuration of the card can be 10, 100, or 1000Mbps and is
determined by the speed setting of the hub or switch port to which the card is connected.
The card automatically senses this speed. The card only runs at one speed at a time. To
verify the speed selection, run lanadmin -x ppa#.
Note 3: The valid MTU range for the iether driver on HP-UX 11i v1 is 257 - 9000; for
jumbo frames, the valid MTU size is any number from 1501 - 9000. For the gelan and
igelan drivers on HP-UX 11i v1, the acceptable value is 1500 for normal frames and 9000
for jumbo frames. On HP-UX 11i v2, the MTU range for all 3 Gigabit Ethernet drivers is
1024 through 9000;on HP-UX 11i v2, the jumbo frame range is 1501 through 9000.
