Description
This field is required for proper configuration. Enter the slot of the specific card
currently being configured.
Caution: If this parameter is not correctly supplied and there is more than one
card installed in the server, the installation program may crash the system. Use the
LISTSLOT.NLM program to identify the slot where a card is installed.
To override the default MAC address, specify a node address in this field.
The expected range is 0060CF000000 through 0060CFFFFFFF
When you select this field and press Enter, you are prompted to choose between
auto and off settings:
• The auto setting activates the IEEE 802.3 compliant link negotiation. All
NETGEAR Gigabit Ethernet cards and switches use link negotiation by default.
• When off is selected, only link signal detection is used. Use this setting when
connecting to Ethernet equipment that does not support link negotiation, or if
there is a problem establishing a link between the card and the connecting
device. Unless you specify otherwise, the default signaling speed for the
1000BASE-SX and 10/100/1000BASE-T cards is 1 Gbps.
Note: When link negotiation is off, be sure that the connecting device uses the same
duplex and speed settings.
