6. Shut down and halt the client system.

Use the

shutdown

command to display the OpenBoot (

ok

) prompt.

7. At the

ok

prompt, use the

show-nets

command to find the device path of the

GigaSwift Ethernet device.

The

show-nets

command lists the system devices. You should see the full path

name of the network device, similar to the example below. In this example, the

network@4

device is the Sun GigaSwift Ethernet adapter.

8. At the

ok

prompt, boot the client system using the full device path of the Gigabit

Ethernet device.

Following are several examples, which show the different options available:

Booting in Auto-Negotiated mode:

Booting in Auto-Negotiated verbose mode at 1000 Mbps half duplex:

Note –

link-cloc

k must be set to auto.

For this configuration the highest capability is limited to 1000 Mbps half duplex
and the lowest is 10 Mbps half duplex, hence the link will be established within
this range of capabilities, depending on the configuration of the link partner.
