These instructions apply to the 1000Base-T (Gigabit Ethernet)
product. They assume that the card has been factory installed and
the software already loaded on your disk.
Log in as root and verify that the card and its hardware path are displayed
by executing the command: ioscan.
Run the System Administration Manager: sam.
Double click Networking and Communications.
Double click Network Interface Cards.
Highlight the Gigabit Ethernet card and choose Configure from the Actions menu.
Fill in the form according to the instructions.
Click on the OK button to activate the card and then select exit from
the "File" menu until you exit SAM.
Optional Step: Configure Jumbo Frame
Size
Ensure that all switches in the data path
support the jumbo frame size. Also, make sure that both ends of
the connection are using jumbo frames.
Obtain the PPA Number of the card by executing:
lanscan
Set the MTU value to 9000 for jumbo frames by executing:
lanadmin -M 9000 PPA_number
To verify MTU change, execute:
netstat -rn.
To check the current Ethernet frame size, execute:
lanadmin -m PPA_number

 | NOTE: An alternative way to configure the jumbo frame size
is to edit the file /etc/rc.config.d/hpgelanconf (or /etc/rc.config.d/hpigelanconf). Set the parameter HP_GELAN/IGELAN_MTU[0]=9000
and insert the proper HP_GELAN/IGELAN_INTERFACE_NAME. When the system
reboots, the interface will be configured for jumbo frame operation. |
