On the A7011A, the 1000Base-SX port operates only at 1000 Mbit/s and only in full-duplex mode. It autonegotiates flow control but not speed or duplexity.

Ensure that the 1000 Mbit/s port on the interfacing switch is set for autonegotiation or 1000Mbit/s full-duplex mode.

On the A7012A, the 1000Base-T port operates at 10 or 100 Mbit/s in either full- or half-duplex modes and at 1000 Mbit/s only in full-duplex mode.

Ensure that you set both your switch and the gigabit Ethernet port on the card to autonegotiation or set both to the same speed and duplex mode

The Gigabit Ethernet cards support use of Jumbo Frames. The maximum transmission unit (MTU) for using jumbo frames with the iether driver on HP-UX 11i v 1.0 or v 2.0 is in the range of 1501 to 9000 bytes.

The Gigabit Ethernet LAN software supports TCP/IP, NFS, and DLPI applications. Ethernet and SNAP encapsulations are supported.

Support interrupt migration.

Support HP ServiceGuard.

Support vPars.

Support virtual LANs (VLANs).

Support PCI-X/PCI online addition/replacement (OLA/R) on supported systems.
