Re: Ethernet Line Tuning

Rick,

   The LINESPEED and DUPLEX parms are the ones you want. The Link speed is
used only for Performance tools and routing determination.

   you want LINESPEED of 100M and DUPLEX of *FULL as you indicated.

   In the Cisco switch you want: (xx= the port number for your AS/400)

interface FastEthernet0/xx
  speed 100
  duplex full

   With this combinatino we have gotten the line to come up 100M full duplex
every time.

   Hope this helps!

    - Larry
