Setting up Full Duplex on Quad Card

[csunix]

Hi
We have a machine that has a quad card and one port is currently set a 100M Half Duplex. We want this to be 100M Full Duplex. When I run certain commands we just get problems
ie ndd -set /dev/bge0 adv_100fdx_cap 1
'couldn't push module 'bge0', no such device or address'.

Anyone know how I can set this to 100M Full Duplex.

Cheers, CS

The ndd -set and ndd -get commands use the named driver as a parameter (eg /dev/bge) not the interface name preceded with /dev (eg /dev/bge0). Otherwise you are on the right track. There have been various examples of how to do what you are trying to do in threads in this forum. Please try a search for ndd here.

I hope that helps.

Ok thanks.

You can also set it in /etc/system to take effect at boot-time, however it will apply to all cards of that type in the system.

Something along the lines of:

set bge:bge_adv_100fdx_cap=1

Annihilannic.

The bge interfaces are set using a specific driver configuration file called bge.conf.
Here is the path /platform/sun4u/kernel/drv/bge.conf
Good Luck

if zou want to set the interface speed on a specific interface eg ge3 zou will need a script like this:

#!/bin/csh -x
echo setting ge3 to fdx
ndd -set /dev/ge [b]instance 3[/b]
ndd -set /dev/ge adv_1000autoneg_cap 0
ndd -set /dev/ge adv_1000hdx_cap 0
ndd -set /dev/ge adv_1000fdx_cap 1

save this script in /etc/init.d and link it to /etc/rc3.d/S70fdx (or something like that)
