SUN V440 Question
I have a SUN V440 and it is running Solaris 9 with two NICs in the box ce0 ce1. Is there any way to get full duplex 1000? I do I check to see what ce0 and ce1 is set at and if it is not set to full duplex 1000, how do I set it and do I have to reboot the system afterward? I am new to the SUN unix system.

make sure the switchport is set to autoneg. this should be default for all connected sun server nic ports!

Need to set the port to 1000mps fullduplex
How do change the ce0 ethernet port to 1000mps fullduplex?

configure your SWITCH to use autoneg!

By rule, gigabit must be autoneg or it's NOT gigabit.

I think what your looking for is:
Code:
/usr/sbin/ndd -set /dev/ce0 adv_1000fdx_cap 1

But, like others have mentioned, you really should be set to auto-negotiate on both the switch and nic for gigabit

Code:
/usr/sbin/ndd -set /dev/bge0 adv_autoneg_cap 1

Keep in mind you need to create an /etc/rc2.d or /etc/rc3.d file to have changes carry across reboots (besides adv_autoneg_cap)
