Another easy one?

Hi All,

I probably should know this but....

I need to find out what a Network Card is capable of speed and link wise. I ran ndd -get commands and saw that 100/full was a 1 (enabled) 10/full 1, etc.... So I guess my main question would be that ndd says 100/full is 1 does that mean the card is capable of 100/full or is that a common setting?

I have a client machine on an E450 running Solaris 6. Speed and link are 10/half. Their switch is also set to 10/half.
I want to have then set their switch to autoneg but I need to be sure of the capabilities of the card.

Is there a way to get the "make and model" of the NIC in the system?

Thanks,

not sure this is exactly what you are looking for, but this script did help me figure out some nic info on the few sun systems I have here.

Thanks sbrews,

That script actually works better than the one I have been using. Great info the way I want it!

Still, I need to know if a card is capable of 100/full

Do a ifconfig -a and see what nic cards you have.

On a E450 the nic card is hme0 which is 100/full.

If you are using a different nic then do a google on it or check Suns site.
