3.6.5 Auto-Negotiation

A key feature of the SunFastEthernet Adapter is auto-negotiation. The auto-

negotiation protocol, as specified by the 100BASE-T standard, automatically

selects the operation mode (half-duplex or full-duplex) and speed (10 Mbps or

100 Mbps) for the adapter.

The hme device driver operates the SUNW,hme device by default in half-duplex

mode only.

If the SunFastEthernet Adapter is connected to a remote system or interface

that is not capable of auto-negotiation, your system automatically selects the

speed and half-duplex mode.

If the SunFastEthernet Adapter is connected to a link partner with which the

auto-negotiation protocol fails to operate successfully, you can configure the

device to not use this protocol and force the driver to set up the link in the

mode and speed of your choice.

Refer to the Platform Notes: The hme Fast Ethernet Device Driver document (Part

No: 802-5333) for more information on the hme device driver and auto-

negotiation. This document is also available on the Solaris 2.5 and the Solaris

2.5: 1/96 AnswerBook.
