Hello Everyone,
While trying to configure my network interface card on my system which runs mandrake 7, I have faced many problems. I used commands like netconf, drakconf, ifconfig etc to configure my NIC but of no use.
There is no output for dmesg|grep eth. Does that mean that mandrake... (2 Replies)
Hi,
We have a 4 port Sun gigaswift NIC card on our sun fire server.
If the card is a physical one I know how to check the settings/speed. But since this is a virtual card with 4 ports , I am not sure as how we can check the settings.

I have a TOSHIBA AS7000 B150 Sun Box
I wanted to run it with 100M/full duplex
I had added this to the /etc/system file to make to setting permenant So it would be set correctly on reboot.
set eri:eri_adv_100fdx_cap=1
set eri:eri_adv_100hdx_cap=0

hai this is nagesh
when i was doing practical , i find some dought.
iam using solaris 9. how can i see the ethernet card speed , wheather it is halfduplex or full duplex.any body please help me (4 Replies)
how can I determine which NIC card is virtual NIC Card
which condition can make a decision
Does HP UX have Virtual Network Adapter Concept
if ,it has
where I can Find if I Install Virutal Network Adapter
or which command that i can get it
or which software can generate
thanks (2 Replies)
Hi,
I would like to know how to change the speed of ethernet card in linux? as it is showing auto-neg using mii-tool -v eth0
and my requirement is 100mbps full duplex.

how can we change the nic card speed
please explain through commands & steps ????
and i want to change NIC speed 100 --1000Mbps
and what is full & half duplex gives
thanks in advance (6 Replies)
Hi,
Does anyone know how can I determine the maximum capable speed on a network interface card for different OS like HP, Sun, AIX and Linux.
I am aware of the tool "ethtool" which can be used for Linux. Are there any handly commands or /proc files where I can get this info depending on the OS.... (3 Replies)
Hi,
I have few Solaris (9 and 10) servers, whose consoles are running on 10 MBPs. Now, Network team is changing their switch, which doesn't support 10 MBPs and we need to check if console all of those servers will support 100MBPs or more.
Is there any way to check supported (or maximum supported)... (7 Replies)

MII-TOOL(8) Linux System Administrator's Manual MII-TOOL(8)NAME
mii-tool - view, manipulate media-independent interface status
SYNOPSIS
mii-tool [-v, --verbose] [-V, --version] [-R, --reset] [-r, --restart] [-w, --watch] [-l, --log] [-A, --advertise=media,...] [-F,
--force=media] [-p, --phy=addr] interface ...
DESCRIPTION
This utility checks or sets the status of a network interface's Media Independent Interface (MII) unit. Most fast ethernet adapters use an
MII to autonegotiate link speed and duplex setting.
Most intelligent network devices use an autonegotiation protocol to communicate what media technologies they support, and then select the
fastest mutually supported media technology. The -A or --advertise options can be used to tell the MII to only advertise a subset of its
capabilities. Some passive devices, such as single-speed hubs, are unable to autonegotiate. To handle such devices, the MII protocol also
allows for establishing a link by simply detecting either a 10baseT or 100baseT link beat. The -F or --force options can be used to force
the MII to operate in one mode, instead of autonegotiating. The -A and -F options are mutually exclusive.
The default short output reports the negotiated link speed and link status for each interface.
OPTIONS -v, --verbose
Display more detailed MII status information. If used twice, also display raw MII register contents.
Alert: If used three times, will force reading all MII registers, including non standard ones. It's not guaranteed any valid answer
from PHY while PHY communication can even hang. With driver e1000e will fail while reading register 0x07.
-V, --version
Display program version information.
-R, --reset
Reset the MII to its default configuration.
-r, --restart
Restart autonegotiation.
-w, --watch
Watch interface(s) and report changes in link status. The MII interfaces are polled at one second intervals.
-l, --log
Used with -w, records link status changes in the system log instead of printing on standard output.
-F media, --force=media
Disable autonegotiation, and force the MII to either 100baseTx-FD, 100baseTx-HD, 10baseT-FD, or 10baseT-HD operation.
-A media,..., --advertise=media,...
Enable and restart autonegotiation, and advertise only the specified media technologies. Multiple technologies should be separated
by commas. Valid media are 100baseT4, 100baseTx-FD, 100baseTx-HD, 10baseT-FD, and 10baseT-HD.
-p addr, --phy=addr
Override the MII address provided by kernel with value addr.
DIAGNOSTICS
SIOCGMIIPHY on 'eth?' failed: Invalid argument
If the interface is not running (up), kernel will refuse to report its link state.
SIOCGMIIPHY on 'eth?' failed: Operation not permitted
Most kernels restrict access to root.
SIOCGMIIPHY on 'eth?' failed: No such device
This error is shown, if the kernel does not know about the named device.
SIOCGMIIPHY on 'eth?' failed: Operation not supported
The interface in question does not support MII queries. Most likely, it does not have MII transceivers, at all.
