▼ To Set Autonegotiation to off for Other
Noncompliant Network Equipment
If your network equipment does not support autonegotiation, you can set
autonegotiation to off on the GigaSwift Ethernet (ce) device.
1. Set the following GigaSwift Ethernet driver parameters to values according to the
documentation that shipped with your switch:
■ adv-1000fdx-cap
■ adv-1000hdx-cap
■ adv-ampause-cap
■ adv-pause-cap
2. Set the adv-autoneg-cap parameter to 0.
Note – See Chapter 4 for the default values of these parameters and for instructions
on how to set these parameters.
Failure to Configure GigaSwift Ethernet Instance
If your machine fails to configure a GigaSwift Ethernet instance, yet prtconf
indicates the adapter is present, the problem might be due to residue adapter
instances in the path_to_inst file.
To solve this problem, open the path_to_inst file for editing and remove the lines
containing ce device path.
Reboot the machine and try to configure it again.
