Troubleshooting Issues

Known Incompatibilities with Pre-IEEE 802.3z Network Switches

You might experience interoperability issues when using the Sun GigaSwift Ethernet adapter with the SunSwitch switch, the Alteon ACE 110 switch, or other pre- or non- IEEE 802.3z standard compliant network equipment. If you experience difficulties with noncompliant equipment, set the adapter and switch autonegotiation properties to off and try to configure the interface manually.

To Set Autonegotiation to off for a SunSwitch or an Alteon ACE 110 Switch

You can set autonegotiation to off for SunSwitch and Alteon ACE 110 switches using those switches’ configuration program (cgf). Refer to your switch documentation for instructions on how to access and use the cgf program.

The following procedure describes how to turn autonegotiation off for one SunSwitch port.
