Please i read the thread but the command inside the Thread60-624352 don't work. I suppose i made an error when i run the command. If its more useful to understand my server this is the part of the output netstat -i:
netstat -i
Name Mtu Net/Dest
lo0 8232 loopback
ge0 1500 192.167.0.0
qfe0 1500 11.0.0.0
qfe1 1500 pippo
qfe2 1500 12.0.0.0
qfe3 1500 13.0.0.0
Anyone can help me to find my error ???????
Thanks a lot
Walter

The ndd command in Thread60-624352 seems to be using hme as its device name.

Try the following command to get the list of ndd information for a QFE card:

ndd -get /dev/qfe '?'

This will give a list of the parameters reportable about the card.

On our Sun E450 with a QFE, this command returns the speed
ndd -get /dev/qfe link_speed

This is the overall setting rather than being specific to each interface like qfe1, qfe2, etc.

Thanks
i run the command and i see the list of parameters about my interface card

Please can you help me to post a document where i will read how i set this parameter and in which case i must check these interface card parameters.
Thanks a lot to all people in this forum

Check docs.sun.com for your answers to your interface questions.

Use "netstat -k qfe0" to get a comprehensive listing of your interface settings. ifspeed refers to your current inserted value.

Use "ndd -get /dev/qfe instance 'X'" to change the ndd listing of your card.
Use "ndd -get /dev/qfe link_speed link_mode" will give you speed and duplex setting (1 1 is 100Mb full duplex.)
