Logical

Displays the configured interface, as specified by the

Alter Interface Type

action.

Values: Copper, Fiber, or Autodetect.

Configured Interface Type

The transmission rate for the ServerNet addressable controller.

Current Configured Speed

The state of the component as known to the operating system on the server.

Values

Device State

The transmission mode for the ServerNet addressable controller.
Values: Half Duplex, Full Duplex, Unknown

Duplex Mode

The media access control (MAC) address of the PIF hardware.

Hardware MAC Address

Displays the actual interface that is physically present.
Values: Copper, Fiber, and Unknown (if nothing is plugged in)

Interface Type

A value of Up confirms that the cable from the PIF to the LAN is connected
and operational. A value of Down indicates a problem with LAN connectivity.

Link Pulse State

The maximum transmission rate for the ServerNet addressable controller.
Values: 10 megabits per second, 100 megabits per second, Unknown

Maximum Speed

The media access control (MAC) address of the PIF network.

Network MAC Address

Lists the processor numbers for processors that have a successful data path
to the PIF. If no processor has a path, "None" is shown.
Example: 1,2,3,8,9

Processors with Data Path

Actions

Abort

Terminates operation of the G4SA PIF. When the Abort action finishes, the PIF is in the Stopped
state.

Alter Interface Type

Allows you to set the

Configured Interface Type

to either Autodetect, Copper, or Fiber.

Fiber is a valid option only for PIF C or D. (The action fails if you select Fiber for PIF A or B.)

In most cases, the Autodetect option will work. However, if you have a fiber cable connected to
one of the PIF ports and a copper cable to the other, and you want to use the copper cable, you
must specify Copper (because autodetect checks for the presence of a fiber cable first).

Configure LIF

Configures the associated LIF.

Start

Starts the G4SA PIF. The PIF must be in the Stopped state before you perform this action. When
the Start action completes, the PIF is in the Started state.

Stop

Rather than automatically stopping the G4SA PIF (as the Abort action does), this action first warns
you if the PIF is currently in use (and stops it only after you confirm).

G4SA SAC

A ServerNet addressable controller mounted on a

G4SA

(Gigabit Ethernet 4-port ServerNet adapter)

or the functional equivalent on a

VIO G4SA

.
