<div><p>Ethernet capabilities, such as line speed and duplex mode, can
|

|
|
enhance your server's performance.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The <span class="keyword">iSeries™</span> server is capable
|
||
|
|
of transmitting and receiving data at speeds from 10 megabits per second (10
|
||
|
|
Mbps) to 10 gigabits per second (10 Gbps or 10 000 Mbps). Functions
|
||
|
|
such as full duplex also enhance the communication speeds and the overall
|
||
|
|
performance of Ethernet. For more specific information about these types of
|
||
|
|
capabilities, see the following: </p>

<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzajylinespeeddef.htm">Line speed</a></strong><br />
|
||
|
|
The speed of data transfer is limited by the connection type, cabling, and maximum speeds that your server and link partner support.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzajyduplexmodedef.htm">Duplex mode</a></strong><br />
|

Depending on your server's capabilities and the duplex mode of the link partner you are attaching to, you can use either full or half duplex.</li>

The <span class="keyword">iSeries</span> server
|
||
|
|
supports Gigabit and 10 Gbps Ethernet, which requires the use of a 1 Gbps
|
||
|
|
or 10 Gbps input/output adapter (IOA).</li>

|
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzajyautonegotiation.htm">Auto-negotiation</a></strong><br />

Auto-negotiation is the preferred method of configuring your system's Ethernet connections.</li>

<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzajyautosensing.htm">Auto-sensing</a></strong><br />

If auto-negotiation fails, your server can match the line speed of its link partner.</li>
