Full Duples Speed Problem

[ranjank]

Hi

I am facing problem regarding NFS mounted filesystems.When i try to access from sun box os 5.6 it takes hell lot of time.I have checked the speed of the server from where i am accessing,it is 100 mpbs and full duples.the server(sun os 5.8) from where the file system is shared there the config is 100 mpbs and half Duplex and the config of switch is Auto-negotiable.I tired to forcefully convert half duplex in to full duplex but it is not allowing me to do it.Can anyone help me on this.Urgent help will be highly appreciated.

Regards,
RK.

You need to lock the system interface and the switch to 100Mb FDX. Sun and Cisco have implemented autonegotiation differently. (Read imcompatable.)
To lock a Solaris box to 100Mb FDX you need to set this in /etc/system for hme interface:

* set hme0 to 100mbt full duplex
set hme:hme_adv_autoneg_cap=0
set hme:hme_adv_100T4_cap=0
set hme:hme_adv_100fdx_cap=1
set hme:hme_adv_100hdx_cap=0
set hme:hme_adv_10fdx_cap=0
set hme:hme_adv_10hdx_cap=0
