G4SA PIF
Physical interface (PIF) objects represent each of the four ports on a G4SA through which LAN connections are made.
Each G4SA PIF has an associated LIF object.

Example: G4SA PIF $ZZLAN.G4SA1.0.A
Attributes
G4SA PIF
Displayed in the Attributes tab and Attributes dialog box only if the value is something
other than OK.
Values
Service State
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).
