Change Scsi Settings; Select Console - IBM pSeries 670 Service Manual

Selecting the Spanning Tree Enabled menu allows you to enable or disable the spanning tree flag. If this
flag is enabled (because the network the system is being attached to supports spanning trees), the
firmware will impose a waiting period of 60 seconds before the adapter is allowed to communicate with the
network. If this flag is disabled, the network adapter will be able to access the network immediately after
the system is connected.
The Protocol option allows you to set the appropriate protocol for your network as shown below.
Protocol
10/100 Mbps Ethernet PCI Adapter II: U1.9-P1-I4/E1
1. Standard <===
2. IEEE802.3

Select the ping test option from the network parameters menu to test an adapter's network connection to
a remote system. After the ping test option is selected, the same series of screens will take you through
setting up the IP parameters and the adapter configuration before attempting the ping test.
Notes:
1. Once the ping test is initiated, it may take 60 seconds or longer to return a result.
2. If the ping test passes or fails, the firmware will stop and wait for a key to be pressed before
continuing.
