Configuring Ethernet PCI Adapters
Use the PROSet utility to configure Ethernet PCI adapters (see “Starting PROSet” on
page 2-7). PROSet is part of the Ethernet PCI adapter software.
Use PROSet to perform the following tasks:
•Locate a PCI adapter (see “Locating Ethernet PCI Adapters” on page 2-15) in a
system with many Ethernet PCI adapters.
•Configure the line speed and/or duplex mode of an Ethernet PCI adapter with
values appropriate to the adapter and the media to which it connects (see
“Configuring Link Speed and Duplex Mode” on page 2-16).
•Configure Ethernet PCI adapters into teams (see “Types of Fault-T olerant Ethernet
Teams” on page2-9). For information about how to configure the teams, see
“Configuring Ethernet Teams” on page2-14.
•Assign virtual LANs to a team (see “Virtual LANs” on page 2-13). For information
about how to configure the VLANs, see “Configuring Virtual LANs Over a T eam” on
page 2-22.
•Manage a team by removing or adding adapters, or removing the team (see
“Managing Ethernet Teams” on page2-27).
•Modify the advanced settings of an individual Ethernet PCI adapter, a team, or a
VLAN (see the PROSet online help).
