Configuration and diagnostics 55
o Default = auto-negotiate
o Examples:
100 Mbps full-duplex FORCEDUPLEX=2 SPEED=100
10 Mbps full-duplex FORCEDUPLEX=2 SPEED=10
• SLOT. (Required) For PCI adapters, SLOT is derived from bus number and device location as defined
by the PCI specification. One way to determine the slot number is to load the driver from the
command line. You will be prompted with valid device number(s) for the adapter(s). Select one of
them.
o Syntax: SLOT=n
Where n = 1, 2, 3, 4,...
• SPEED. This keyword specifies the speed the driver uses. If you do not use this parameter, the driver
automatically detects the network speed. If unable to detect, the driver defaults to 10 Mbps. If you
use this parameter, the driver operates at the specified speed instead of auto detecting network
speed.
o Syntax: SPEED=n
Where n = 10 or 100 or 1000
o Default = The adapter automatically detects network speed.
• NODE. This keyword specifies a locally administered address (LAA) unique to each adapter. Use this
option to provide your own unique node address for the adapter. The node address is a 12-digit
hexadecimal number. The second digit must be one of the following digits: 2, 6, A, E.
o Syntax: NODE=xnxxxxxxxxxx
Where n = 2, 6, A, E
Where x = hexadecimal number
o Default = The adapter's assigned address
• FRAME. This keyword indicates one of four valid frame types the system is transmitting and receiving.
o Syntax: FRAME=n
Where n = Ethernet_802.2, Ethernet_802.3, Ethernet_II, Ethernet_SNAP
o Default = Ethernet_802.2
• POLL. This keyword is used to enable polling mode in the driver with interrupt backup. If polling is
enabled, interrupts will be reduced, allowing the processor to spend more time performing other
functions. In polling mode, interrupts will occur only when receive resources have been reduced to
less than half. If polling is not enabled, the driver will perform in traditional interrupt mode.
o Syntax: POLL=n
o Where n = 0 (interrupt mode), 1 (polling mode with interrupt backup)
o Default = 0 (interrupt mode)
NOTE: The POLL parameter is for the N100.LAN, N1000.LAN, and N1000e.LAN drivers.
• SPURIOUS. This keyword is used to reduce the number of spurious interrupts reported by the OS on
the driver interrupt line. This automatically loads for 10, 100, and 1000 adapters.
o Syntax: SPURIOUS=n
Where n = 0 or 1
