Chapter 4 Configuring Driver Parameters 37
▼ To Disable Autonegotiation Mode
If your network equipment does not support autonegotiation, or if you want to
specify your network speed, you can set autonegotiation to off on the ce device.
1. Set the following driver parameters to the values that are described in the
documentation that shipped with your link partner (for example, a switch):
■ adv_1000fdx_cap
■ adv_1000hdx_cap
■ adv_100fdx_cap
■ adv_100hdx_cap
■ adv_10fdx_cap
■ adv_10hdx_cap
■ adv_asmpause_cap
■ adv_pause_cap
See
TABLE 4-2 for the descriptions and possible values of these parameters.
2. Set the adv_autoneg_cap parameter to 0.
When you change any ndd link parameter, a message similar to the following
appears:
Setting Parameters Using the ce.conf File
You can also specify the driver parameter properties on a per-device basis by
creating a ce.conf file in the /kernel/drv directory. Use a ce.conf file when
you need to set a particular parameter for a device in the system. The parameters
you set are read and write parameters that are listed in “Driver Parameter Values
and Definitions” on page 26.
The man pages for prtconf(1M) and driver.conf(4) include additional details.
The next procedure shows an example of setting parameters in a ce.conf file.
