Troubleshooting Issues
Known Incompatibilities with Pre-IEEE 802.3z
Network Switches
You might experience interoperability issues when using the Sun
GigaSwift Ethernet adapter with the SunSwitch switch, the Alteon ACE 110 switch,
or other pre- or non-IEEE 802.3z standard compliant network equipment. If you
experience difficulties with noncompliant equipment, set the adapter and switch
autonegotiation properties to off and try to configure the interface manually.
To Set Autonegotiation to off for a SunSwitch
or an Alteon ACE 110 Switch
You can set autonegotiation to off for SunSwitch and Alteon ACE 110 switches
using those switches’ configuration program (cgf). Refer to your switch
documentation for instructions on how to access and use the cgf program.
The following procedure describes how to turn autonegotiation off for one
SunSwitch port.
1. Establish a connection to the switch using either a serial connection or a Telnet
connection.
Refer to the SunSwitch 1.1 Installation and Configuration Guide (805-3743-10) for more
information. After connecting to the switch, the Main menu prompt (Main#)is
displayed.
