<P><FONT SIZE=2>Freddy and Daren,</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>To have the hme 10/100 cards function properly it is necessary to
install Foxboro QF 992053B. It seems to provide most of the functionality
contained in Sun patch #104212-13.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Configuring a single/all hme card settings is done with the Solaris
"ndd" command. For example to "lock down" the hme2 interface
to communicate at 100Mbps halfduplex mode:</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2># ndd -set /dev/hme instance 2</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2># ndd -set /dev/hme adv_100T4_cap 0 </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2># ndd -set /dev/hme adv_100fdx_cap 0</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2># ndd -set /dev/hme adv_100hdx_cap 1</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2># ndd -set /dev/hme adv_10fdx_cap 0</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2># ndd -set /dev/hme adv_10hdx_cap 0</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2># ndd -set /dev/hme adv_autoneg_cap 0</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hubs and switches should be configured to match the network settings
on the Sun box. (i.e. switch is autoneg, Sun is autoneg.)</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Sun recommends creating an rc "S" script placed in
/etc/rc2.d to make settings for a particular hme interface permanent and restored upon
reboot. Don't ever change the hme0 settings, IA is expecting 10Mbps/half
duplex.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Speed and duplex mode settings can always be checked on a particular
interface (e.g. hme3) by</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2># ndd -set /dev/hme instance 3</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2># ndd -get /dev/hme link_status [Command return either 0 (down)
or 1 (up)]</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2># ndd -get /dev/hme link_speed [Command return either 0
(10Mbps) or 1 (100Mbps)]</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2># ndd -get /dev/hme link_mode [Command return
either 0 (halfduplex) or 1 (fullduplex)]</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Note: These commands do not function without the Foxboro QF. </FONT>

<P>
<FONT SIZE=2>List Members,</FONT>
</P>
<P>
<FONT SIZE=2>I have an AW51D
and have set up the second Ethernet Port.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>The hardware in question looks</FONT>
<BR>
<FONT SIZE=2>Like a FastSCSI/UTP 10/100Mbs
Ethernet Interface Card and</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>resides in PCI slot 1.( There are</FONT>
<BR>
<FONT SIZE=2>No Foxboro part numbers on
this card). I have connected it</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>to a pc running Xterminal emulation</FONT>
<BR>
<FONT SIZE=2>Via a hub and managed to get
remote display manager</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>operational. However if I install this</FONT>
<BR>
<FONT SIZE=2>In the factory, I cannot ping
any other stations on the</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Cisco switch. If I connect via the hub then </FONT>
<BR>
<FONT SIZE=2>To the switch it is fine. It
looks as though the problem</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>lies in the fact that the interface card is</FONT>
<BR>
<FONT SIZE=2>Running at 10 Mbps. How
can I get this card to run at at</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>100 Mbps?</FONT>
</P>
<P>
<FONT SIZE=2>Thanking you in advance.</FONT>
