    Installing and Configuring 10/100Base-TX/9000 Required and Optional Patches Required and Optional Patches The following patches are required in order to use the HP-PB 10/100Base-TX/9000 card: Server • PHNE_17113—a patch for lanadmin changes on HP-UX 11.x versions. • PHNE_17000—a patch for lanadmin changes on HP-UX 10.20 versions.

  • Page 12: Compatibility And Installation Requirements

    • Both full- and half-duplex modes are supported. Ensure that your hub or switch is set to the desired duplex mode. • The HP-PB 10/100Base-TX/9000 LAN software is for use with only the following protocols: TCP/IP, UDP/IP, ARPA, NFS, and Advanced Server/9000.

  • Page 13: Manual Speed And Duplex Mode Configuration

    Ensure that the speed, duplex mode, and autonegotiation of the associated switch are configure the same as on the HP-PB 10/100Base-TX card. If the switch supports autonegotiation on the ports connected to the cards, this should be enabled as explained in the section in this release note called “Autonegotiation and Autosensing.”...

  • Page 15 Installing and Configuring 10/100Base-TX/9000 Compatibility and Installation Requirements Manually configuring the speed or duplex setting of a switch port on some switches may disable that switch port from doing autonegotiation. Verify that both the card and the switch port are operating in the same speed and duplex mode as desired.

  • Page 16: Autonegotiation And Autosensing

    (as is often the case for switches). However, switches that support autonegotiation are starting to be offered. If the HP-PB 10/100Base-TX/9000 card is connected to a device, such as Chapter 1 Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

  • Page 17: Known Problems And Workarounds

    If the HP-PB 10/100Base-TX/9000 card is connected to a device that does not support autonegotiation or a device that has autonegotiation disabled, the HP-PB card will autosense the speed of the link and set itself accordingly. The duplex mode of the card will be set to half-duplex in this case.
