Speed Selection

2.Edit the name_to_major file by adding an entry for the be device.

If the major device number for the last file entry is “n” then use” n+1” for the be channel major device number. As shown in the example, if the last entry is qe 104 then use be 105.

qec 103 qe 104

be 105

3.Copy be driver to clients root partition as follows:

#cd /export/root/<client name>/kernel/drv

then:

#cp /kernel/drv/be .

If you receive the following messages after connecting to a 10 or 100Mbps network then more than likely the external hub and the SunFastEthernet are out of sync. In these instances speed selection may be done manually using the be_speed utility as indicated in the procedure that follows:

#100 Mbps Link Up Link Down

10 Mbps Link Up Link Down

This utility is available in the directory /usr/sbin only if patch ID 101820-01 is installed. This patch is mandatory for the Solaris 2.3 Hardware: 5/94 release; for the Solaris 2.3 Hardware: 8/94 release the patch is needed only if the be_speed utility is required.
