This section provides information that will help administer and manage your Fast Ethernet products.

Logging and Auditing

Events are logged with NetTL. This is common to Fast Ethernet. The following log files are created by NetTL:

  • For releases prior to HP-UX 11i: nettl.LOG-00 and nettl.LOG-01

  • For release HP-UX 11i and later: nettl.LOG000 and nettl.LOG001

See Chapter 4 “Troubleshooting” for more information about NetTL.

Performance and Tuning Considerations

Although Fast Ethernet is theoretically capable of transferring data at 100 Mbit/s, several factors can lower the bandwidth, including:

  • Hardware architecture — not normally an issue in modern systems

  • Driver design — using the same drivers at each end of a connection ensures that differences between drivers does not become an issue

  • system loading — reducing a system’s workload may improve Ethernet performance
