Customizing the Installation
Network Hubs that do not send Link Pulses
Certain 10BASE-T hubs are not compliant with the IEEE 802.3 Ethernet
standards for link pulses. To connect your system to these hubs that do not
send link pulses, you need to disable your system from looking for link
pulses, as in the following example:
Find the qfe device from the ok prompt:
ok show-devs
Find the full name of the qfe you want to boot, for example:
/pci@1f,0/pci@1/pci@2/IntraServer,qfe@0,1
Type:
ok nvedit
Type the following, press the return key at the end of line 0:
0: probe-all install-console banner
1: apply disable-link-pulse
/pci@1f,0/pci@1/pci@2/IntraServer,qfe@0,1
Press the Control-C keys after typing
/pci@1f,0/pci@1/pci@2/IntraServer,qfe@0,1
Type:
ok nvstore
ok setenv use-nvramrc? true
Reboot your system.
Configuring Driver Parameters
The qfe device driver controls the IntraServer ITI-8241C-S, qfe Ethernet
Device. The device driver automatically selects the link speed using the
auto-negotiation protocol with the link partner.
You can manually configure the qfe device driver parameters to customize
each qfe device in your system in three ways:
•
Configure the qfe driver parameters generally for all qfe devices in the
system by entering the parameter variables in the /etc/system file.
•
Set a parameter on a per-device basis by creating the qfe.conf file in the
/kernel/drv directory.
