IBM Partner Pavilion Remote Supervisor Adapter - Manual (Page 42)

The following table describes the functions on the Advanced Ethernet page.
Table 8. Advanced Ethernet setup
Field Function
Data rate Use the Data Rate field to specify the amount of data to be transferred
per second over your LAN connection. To set the data rate, click the
menu and select the data-transfer rate in Mb
1 that corresponds to the
capability of your network. To automatically detect the data-transfer rate,
select Auto, which is the default value.
Duplex Use the Duplex field to specify the type of communication channel used
in your network.
To set the duplex mode, select one of the following:
Full enables data to be carried in both directions at once.
Half enables data to be carried in either one direction or the other, but
not both at the same time.
To automatically detect the duplex type, select Auto, which is the default
value.
Maximum
transmission unit Use the Maximum transmission unit field to specify the maximum size
of a packet (in bytes) for your network interface. For Ethernet, the valid
maximum transmission unit (MTU) range is 60 - 1500. The default value
for this field is 1500.
Burned-in MAC
address The burned-in MAC address is a unique physical address assigned to
this Remote Supervisor Adapter by the manufacturer. The address is also
a read-only field.
Locally
administered
MAC address Enter a physical address for this Remote Supervisor Adapter in the
Locally administered MAC address field. If a value is specified, the
locally administered address overrides the burned-in MAC address. The
locally administered address must be a hexadecimal value from
000000000000 through FFFFFFFFFFFF. This value must be in the form
XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX where X is a number between 0 and 9. The
Remote Supervisor Adapter does not support the use of a multicast
address. A multicast address has the least significant bit of the first byte
set to 1. The first byte, therefore, must be an even number.
1 Mb equals approximately 1 000 000 bits.
11. Modify the advanced Ethernet settings as necessary.
12. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click Save.
13. Click Back to return to the Network Interfaces page.
14. If DHCP is enabled, the server automatically assigns the host name, IP
address, gateway address, subnet mask, domain name, DHCP server IP
address, and up to three DNS server IP addresses.
In order to view the DHCP server assigned setting, click IP Configuration
Assigned by DHCP Server.
15. Click Save.
16. In the navigation pane, click Restart ASM to activate the changes.
Configuring PPP access over a serial port
Use the point-to-point protocol (PPP) access method if you do not have Ethernet
access. You can use PPP through your serial port to enable access to the Remote
Supervisor Adapter through a Telnet session or a Web browser.
