RE: 2838 10/100 Ethernet adapter full duplex mode

["Kirk Goins" <kirkg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Is the 170 attached to a HUB or a SWITCH ? A lot of HUBS are *half duplex.
I had a problem once after and OS upgrade where the 400 wasn't auto detecting
correctly and manual settings of other than 10 and half would not work.
I finally did a rtvcfgsrc, deleted the line and re-created it. Everything
worked fine afterwards.

My 170 has a 2838 PCI 10/100 Ethernet adapter in it. I've got the line
defined as DUPLEX(*FULL). When the system is first powered up, the
full-duplex light on the Ethernet switch comes on, but it turns off during
IPL. If I ENDTCP, then vary the line off and change the line's description
with CHGLINETH (well, the menu display that does that) without actually
changing any parameters, the full duplex light turns back on, and stays on
after the line is varied active and STRTCP is run. What's going on here? I'm
running 5.1, now, for those who weren't reading about my trials and
tribulations with that upgrade.
