IBM 9077 User Manual

IBM 9077 SP Switch Router: Get Connected to the SP Switch

As already mentioned, modifying the following profiles is optional.

  • Card Profile - Card Parameters 

  • Load Profile - Run-time Code

  • Dump Profile - Dump Defaults

Only for the configuration of the interface mode these profiles need to be 
modified. You would at least like to know whether FDX and HDX settings are 
suited to your environment and change them, if needed.

We advise that you set the ports explicitly to the values you expect them to 
have according to your network layout. We prefer to have control over the 
network, instead of it controlling us (which might be wishful thinking).

Set the negotiation or transfer rate in the 

ports/ether

 field. By default, the 

setting for each interface is autonegotiate:

super> read card 7

CARD/7 read

super>list ports 1

port_num = 1

cisco-hdlc = { off on 10 3 }

fddi = { single off }

sonet = { "" "" 1 sonet internal-oscillator 0 207 }

hssi = { 0 16-bit }

ether = { autonegotiate }

hippi = {1 32 no-mode 999999 4 incremental 5 300 10 10 03:00:0f:c0 disab+

super> list ether

if-config = autonegotiate

At this level, use the 

set

 command to look at the interface options:

super> set if-config ?
