11.3.2 Hardware prerequisite changes

The following HMC changes are important for z13s servers:
IBM does not provide Ethernet switches with the system.
RSF is broadband-only.
Ethernet switches
Ethernet switches for HMC and SE connectivity are customer provided. Existing supported
switches can still be used.
Ethernet switches/hubs typically have these characteristics:
Sixteen auto-negotiation ports
100/1000 Mbps data rate
Full or half duplex operation
Auto-medium dependent interface crossover (MDI-X) on all ports
Port status LEDs
