Chapter 3 Setting Configuration Information

3.3 Operation Mode Setup

This section explains how to edit the fjgi.conf configuration file or issue a command to
change the operation mode of the FUJITSU PCI GigabitEthernet interface. The operation mode
can be changed with the following:

● The fjgi.conf file

● JumboFrame Setup
● The ndd Utility
● FCode Settings

3.3.1 The fjgi.conf File

About speed/duplex/flowcontrol, it recommends carrying out default operation (automatic

setup by Auto-Negotiation). Usually, a setup of a fjgi.conf file is unnecessary.
It is a case as shown in the following examples that a setup of a fjgi.conf file is needed.
Example

● When connection partner equipment is not supporting Auto-Negotiation

In this case, please let mode of operation in agreement with self-equipment and
connection place partner equipment.

● Although Auto-Negotiation is used, when it is necessary to make only a specific

setting value into a different value from a default value (for example, when you
want to set speed as 100Mbps, in order to press down the CPU load by the network
low)

● When JumboFrame is used

It is also possible to set up except fjgi.conf. For details, please refer to "

3.3.2

JumboFrame Setup

".

The following table provides descriptions of the parameters used in the fjgi.conf file
to configure the GigabitEthernet interface.
When editing the fjgi.conf file, please review the [Caution] items below.
