Hi Kevin,

the HMC Ports usually work on AUTO/AUTO which every good switch should support.
(i know, in real life most Netadmins prefer setting the speed due to issues with AUTO at all).
But in the ASMI there is no dedicated speed setting i am aware of though i can remember
there were some tricky settings with celogin.

It also is a good idea to have the HMC ports not in the normal network but separated
by VLAN or physical switches so HMCs can provide DHCP.

by the way, the E4A is a Power6 ;-)

Hi,

I'm supporting a 8203 E4A 5633 Power5 at 7.1 and we recently had an issue where the LAN console just stopped connecting to the IBMi..

We had no idea why this was so we checked all the cables etc..then finally called in an engineer as we thought the card had failed...

It turns out that the new switch the network people installed didn't like the LAN Card settings with DUPLEX set to AUTO where it had before, and speed set to AUTO where it had worked before.

Setting this to FULL and 100 respectively corrected the connection issue.

My question...our ASMI console has also stopped working in a similar manner - where can I change those card settings?
