Chapter 3 Network Configuration 31
6. Shut down and halt the client system.
Use the shutdown command to display the OpenBoot (ok) prompt.
7. At the ok prompt, use the show-nets command to find the device path of the
GigaSwift Ethernet device.
The show-nets command lists the system devices. Youshould see the full path
name of the network device, similar to the example below.In this example, the
network@4 device is the Sun GigaSwift Ethernet adapter.
8. At the ok prompt, boot the client system using the full device path of the Gigabit
Ethernet device.
Following are several examples, which show the different options available:
■Booting in Auto-Negotiated mode:
■Booting in Auto-Negotiated verbose mode at 1000 Mbps half duplex:
Note – link-clock must be set to auto.
For this configuration the highest capability is limited to 1000 Mbps half duplex
and the lowest is 10 Mbps half duplex, hence the link will be established within
this range of capabilities, depending on the configuration of the link partner.
