Hardware requirements for Ethernet

Find out what IOAs are supported and what capabilities each one has.

The iSeries™ supports the Ethernet input/output adapter types, listed by custom card identification number (CCIN) in the following table:

Table 1. Supported Ethernet adapters
CCIN	Speed (Mbps)	Auto-negotiation supported	Jumbo frames supported	TCP/IP	i5/OS native SNA support	Duplex mode capability

Notes: Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) card; uses copper wire cabling. Uses fiber optics. You can run SNA traffic with TCP/IP traffic on this IOP/IOA. TCP/IP traffic will run in the higher performance path along with SNA traffic. Supports Operations Console Enterprise Extender or AnyNet is required to run SNA over 1 Gbps or 10 Gbps Ethernet.
