HP Gigabit Ethernet and 100Base-T Cards manual Port B

HP-UX Installation

Network Card Configuration Worksheet

Note 1: To configure values permanently, edit the configuration files. Using lanadmin will not preserve your settings across reboots.

Note 2: The speed configuration of the card can be 10, 100, or 1000Mbps and is determined by the speed setting of the hub or switch port to which the card is connected. The card automatically senses this speed. The Base-T card only runs at one speed at a time. To verify the speed selection, run lanadmin -x ppa#.

Note 3: The valid MTU range for the iether driver on HP-UX 11i v 1.0 is 257 - 9000; for Jumbo Frames, the valid MTU size is any number from 1501 - 9000.

Operating Distance for 1000Base-T(Copper UTP): Up to 100 meters — Cat 5 and Cat 5E

Operating distances for 1000Base-SXusing multi-mode fiber optic cable are as follows:

Description	Modal Bandwidth	Operating Distance
(850nm short wavelength laser)
62.5 micron MMF	160 (MHz * km)	2 to 220 meters (6.6 to 722 ft)
	200 (MHz * km)	2 to 275 meters (6.6 to 902 ft)
50 micron MMF	400 (MHz * km)	2 to 500 meters (6.6 to 1640 ft)
	500 (MHz * km)	2 to 550 meters (6.6 to 1804 ft)
