ALTER PIF Command

The ALTER PIF command alters Token Ring ServerNet adapters (TRSAs), Ethernet 4

ServerNet adapters (E4SAs), ATM ServerNet Adapters (ATM3SA), Fast Ethernet

ServerNet adapters (FESAs), Gigabit Ethernet ServerNet adapters (GESAs), and

Gigabit Ethernet 4-port ServerNet adapters (G4SAs), after they are added to the

SLSA subsystem through the ADD ADAPTER command.

The ALTER PIF command only applies to the TRSA, E4SA, ATM3SA, FESA, GESA,

and G4SA adapter types. The ALTER PIF command does not apply to the CCSA

adapter type.

The AUTONEGOTIATION, DUPLEX, and LINESPEED attributes are only applicable

for FESA, GESA, and G4SA PIFs. If these attributes are specified for non-FESA,

non-GESA, or non-G4SA PIFs, the command is rejected with an error.
