Fill out one worksheet for each network card you are installing.
Table 1-1 Ethernet Card Configuration Worksheet
| Data Type | Required/ Optional | Default | How to Configure (see Note 1) | Example | Your System |
|---|
| Internet Address | Required | 0.0.0.0 | SAM or ifconfig or edit /etc/rc.config.d/netconf | 196.6.20.2 | |
| Subnet mask | Required if using subnetting | Subnet mask not used | SAM or ifconfig or edit /etc/rc.config.d/netconf | 255.255.248.0 | |
| Station address | Built-in but can be optionally changed | As shown on card | SAM or edit /etc/rc.config.d/hpietherconf or temporarily: lanadmin -A | 0x0060b0c4012f | |
| Host name alias for this network interface (card) | Required if the system is connected to more
than 1 network | None | SAM or edit /etc/hosts | host1 | |
| Link configuration | Required | Autonegotiating | SAM or temporarily: lanadmin -X | lanadmin -X
auto_on ppa# (if already turned off) | |
Link speed/
duplex mode | Required | Autonegotiating | Hub or switch (see Note 2) SAM or temporarily: lanadmin -X | lanadmin -X 100fd ppa# | |
| MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit): Jumbo Frames | Optional | 1500 bytes | SAM or edit /etc/rc.config.d/hpietherconf or temporarily: lanadmin -M | lanadmin -M
9000 ppa# (see Note 3 below) | |
| Receive flow control | Optional | On | SAM or edit /etc/rc.config.d/hpietherconf or temporarily: lanadmin -X | lanadmin -X fctrl off | |
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 Base-T 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 v 1.0 is 257 - 9000; for Jumbo Frames, the valid MTU size is
any number from 1501 - 9000.
Operating Distance for 1000Base-T (Copper
UTP): Up to 100 meters — Cat 5 and Cat 5E
Operating distances for 1000Base-SX using
multi-mode fiber optic cable are as follows:
Description
(850nm short wavelength
laser) | Modal Bandwidth | Operating Distance |
|---|
| 62.5 micron MMF | 160 (MHz * km) | 2 to 220 meters (6.6 to 722 ft) |
| | 200 (MHz * km) | 2 to 275 meters (6.6 to 902 ft) |
| 50 micron MMF | 400 (MHz * km) | 2 to 500 meters (6.6 to 1640 ft) |
| | 500 (MHz * km) | 2 to 550 meters (6.6 to 1804 ft) |
