Installing and Configuring 10/100Base-TX/9000

Compatibility and Installation RequirementsCompatibility and Installation Requirements

Following are the compatibility requirements of the HP-PB 10/100Base-TX/9000:

The HP-PB 10/100Base-TX/9000 card supports autonegotiation and autosensing. You should not normally need to manually configure the speed, autonegotiation, or duplex mode of the card. If your switch does not support autonegotiation but is set to full-duplex mode, there may be a mismatch between the card and the switch, because the card defaults to half-duplex for switches that do not support autonegotiation. You can determine what the card is set to using lanadmin -xand reset it if necessary using lanadmin -X. See “Manual Speed and Duplex Mode Configuration” for details.

Both full- and half-duplex modes are supported. Ensure that your hub or switch is set to the desired duplex mode.

The HP-PB 10/100Base-TX/9000 LAN software is for use with only the following protocols: TCP/IP, UDP/IP, ARPA, NFS, and Advanced Server/9000.
