For Further Information

An alternative way to temporarily configure jumbo frame size is to enter: lanadmin -Mmtu_size PPA_number.

Using lanadmin is temporary because it will not preserve your settings across reboots.

The PPA_number is the one we obtained from the output of lanscan. For using Jumbo Frames with the igelan Gigabit Ethernet driver on HP-UX 11i v 1.0, set the mtu_size to 9000 (bytes). For using Jumbo Frames with the igelan driver on 11i v 2.0 of September 2004 (or later), set the mtu_size to a number in the range of 1501 to 9000 bytes.

For Further Information

For further information on the Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel as implemented in this card, please refer to http://docs.hp.com and then look under Networking and Communications. This card’s information is primarily located under the subsection called “Combination Cards.”

The AB465A is a 2-port FC and 2-port GigE version of HP’s A9784A combination card; and they both use the same drivers and firmware -- the drivers are fcd for Fibre Channel and igelan for Gigabit Ethernet. To check for updated information, either look at the information for the A9784A or check the Fibre Channel Support Matrix and the Ethernet Support Matrix on http://docs.hp.com

Maintenance and troubleshooting information about the igelan Gigabit Ethernet driver used in this product is located in the Ethernet Support Guide. There is maintenance and troubleshooting information about the fcd Fibre Channel driver used in this product in the HP Fibre Channel Mass Storage Adapters Support Guide. There is also a Support Matrix for Gigabit Ethernet and a separate one for Fibre Channel. The fcd driver is the same one used in the A6826A Fibre Channel product and has the same features as the driver described in that product’s documentation.
