Hardware requirements for Ethernet
IBM i products support many input/output adapters (IOAs). Find out what IOAs are supported and what capabilities each one has.
The following tables show the relevant data for each type of Ethernet resource.
Only the resources indicated support half-duplex connections.
PhysCtl: Does the IBM i operating system line description configuration affect the line speed and duplex of the port? If not, those types are configured with the management console.
