They are 10 mb cards. Make sure what ever switch you plug them into,
supports such a low speed.
We also had a problem with an old switch that didn't autonegotiate down
to 10 mbs too well. We had to configure some ports on the switch to be
only 10 mbs to solve that one.

This is posted both in the vse and vm listservs.
We have a used 7060 for DR purposes. It has 3 FEA cards for IP
traffic, to be used by VM and VSE TCP/IP. The IOCDS entries are
copied from those for the FEA cards on our production 7060 and our
TCP/IP for VM configurations are copied from our production system
(with appropriate changes for different IP addresses). My EMIO
configuration shows them as CTC devices. The EMIO channel is working
because we're able to use the TN3270 session on the HMC. I've gone
into various support element functions that purport to show the
status of components on the 7060 and they show the cards as being
installed and "idle". The problem is that I cannot vary them online
in VM - no channel path available. The cards seem to be powered up
because the red lights are blinking (actually, they're only blinking
on two of the cards - on the third card there are no lights, which I
find interesting - this is one of the things I intend to talk with
our CE about).
I am trying to contact my IBM CE, and he may be able to figure out
why I can't vary them online, but I was wondering if anyone has any
tips.
The cards are plugged into our network, but I don't know that the
network drops are active. I wouldn't think, though, that an inactive
network drop would prevent my varying them online in VM.
Is there a configuration function on the HMC that pertains solely to
the FEA's? You know, something that would configure them for IP
traffic or SNA traffic, etc.? I'm not talking about the EMIO
configuration panels.
I appreciate any ideas you may have. Thanks!
- Tom.
