Ethernet Interface Speed and Duplex 1

[scottrd]

I am trying to determine the speed and duplex settings on an elx ethernet device on an Intel server. No luck using ndd as with HME devices. Want to confirm changes effective after I edit /kernel/drv/elxl.conf as to what the interface is actually operating at.

You could try netstat -k elx0 ( This might work on Intel Solaris)

Thanks, netstat -k shows most everything but what I'm looking for. Currently the only way I have been able to tell is to unhook the cable from the NIC and watch the console window when I reconnect it. There must be a better way.

You can try this: ndd -get hme#

Here you go:

ndd -get /dev/hme link_speed 0 = 10MBit, 1 = 100MBit
ndd -get /dev/hme link_mode 0 = half duplex, 1 = full duplex

If you have more than one NIC, place the instance next to hme. Like /dev/hme0 and so on.

Unfortunatly its not an HME interface, its a 3COM elxl, so the ndd command syntax used for HME doesd not work.

Just change the hme to elx
