Chapter 3 Setting Configuration Information

3.3 Operation Mode Setup

This section explains how to edit the fjgi.conf configuration file or issue a command to change the operation mode of the FUJITSU PCI GigabitEthernet interface. The operation mode can be changed with the following:

● The fjgi.conf file ● JumboFrame Setup ● The ndd Utility ● FCode Settings

3.3.1 The fjgi.conf File

About speed/duplex/flowcontrol, it recommends carrying out default operation (automatic setup by Auto-Negotiation). Usually, a setup of a fjgi.conf file is unnecessary.

It is a case as shown in the following examples that a setup of a fjgi.conf file is needed. Example

● When connection partner equipment is not supporting Auto-Negotiation

In this case, please let mode of operation in agreement with self-equipment and connection place partner equipment.

● Although Auto-Negotiation is used, when it is necessary to make only a specific setting value into a different value from a default value (for example, when you want to set speed as 100Mbps, in order to press down the CPU load by the network low)

● When JumboFrame is used

It is also possible to set up except fjgi.conf. For details, please refer to "3.3.2

JumboFrame Setup".

The following table provides descriptions of the parameters used in the fjgi.conf file to configure the GigabitEthernet interface.

When editing the fjgi.conf file, please review the [Caution] items below.
