An alternative way to temporarily configure jumbo frame size is to enter:
lanadmin -M
mtu_size PPA_number
.
Using
lanadmin
is temporary because it will not preserve your settings across reboots.
The
PPA_number
is the one we obtained from the output of lanscan. For using Jumbo Frames with the
igelan
Gigabit Ethernet driver on HP-UX 11i v 1.0, set the mtu_size to 9000 (bytes). For using Jumbo Frames with
the
igelan
driver on 11i v 2.0 of September 2004 (or later), set the mtu_size to a number in the range of 1501
to 9000 bytes.
For Further Information
For further information on the Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel as implemented in this card, please refer
to
http://docs.hp.com
and then look under Networking and Communications. This card’s information is
primarily located under the subsection called “Combination Cards.”
The AB465A is a 2-port FC and 2-port GigE version of HP’s A9784A combination card; and they both use the
same drivers and firmware -- the drivers are
fcd
for Fibre Channel and
igelan
for Gigabit Ethernet. To check
for updated information, either look at the information for the A9784A or check the Fibre Channel Support
Matrix and the Ethernet Support Matrix on
http://docs.hp.com
Maintenance and troubleshooting information
about the igelan Gigabit Ethernet driver used in this
product is located in the
Ethernet Support Guide
. There is maintenance and troubleshooting information
about the fcd Fibre Channel driver used in this product in the
HP Fibre Channel Mass Storage Adapters
Support Guide
. There is also a
Support Matrix
for Gigabit Ethernet and a separate one for Fibre Channel. The
fcd driver is the same one used in the A6826A Fibre Channel product and has the same features as the driver
described in that product’s documentation.
