Setting the Speed of the Ethernet Ports

  1. Click the Logical/Physical tab.
  2. In the Physical pane, right-click the controller, and select Configure >> Ethernet Management Ports .
  3. In the Ethernet port list, select the port that you want to configure.
  4. In the Speed and duplex mode list, select a mode. The specific GbE controller on the controller board determines the speed and duplex combinations that you can set manually. Only the combinations that are supported appear. These combinations are possible:

    Available Combinations of Speed and Duplex Mode

    Speed Duplex Mode
    1000BASE-T Duplex
    1000BASE-T Half duplex
    100BASE-T Duplex
    100BASE-T Half duplex
    10BASE-T Duplex
    10BASE-T Half duplex
    Auto-negotiate  

    Auto-negotiation is link speed negotiation that is performed on each host channel Fibre Channel port. Auto-negotiation is enabled as the default for GbE management ports. If auto-negotiation fails, a Needs Attention status appears, and the system tries to establish a connection at 10BASE-T, half duplex.

  5. You can enable IPv4, IPv6, or both. You can enable IPv6 only if your controller has IPv6.
  6. If you enabled IPv4, select the IPv4 tab, and perform one of these actions based on whether you want to use dynamic IP addressing.
  7. If you enabled IPv6, select the IPv6 tab, and perform one of these actions based on whether you want to use dynamic IP addressing.
