108 IBM 9077 SP Switch Router: Get Connected to the SP Switch
4.1.5 Specify Ethernet Card Parameters
As already mentioned, modifying the following profiles is optional.
• Card Profile - Card Parameters
• Load Profile - Run-time Code
• Dump Profile - Dump Defaults
Only for the configuration of the interface mode these profiles need to be
modified. You would at least like to know whether FDX and HDX settings are
suited to your environment and change them, if needed.
We advise that you set the ports explicitly to the values you expect them to
have according to your network layout. We prefer to have control over the
network, instead of it controlling us (which might be wishful thinking).
Set the Negotiation or Transfer Rate
Set the negotiation or transfer rate in the
ports/ether
field. By default, the
setting for each interface is autonegotiate:
super> read card 7
CARD/7 read
super>list ports 1
port_num = 1
cisco-hdlc = { off on 10 3 }
fddi = { single off }
sonet = { "" "" 1 sonet internal-oscillator 0 207 }
hssi = { 0 16-bit }
ether = { autonegotiate }
hippi = {1 32 no-mode 999999 4 incremental 5 300 10 10 03:00:0f:c0 disab+
super> list ether
if-config = autonegotiate
At this level, use the set command to look at the interface options:
super> set if-config ?
