(auto-negotiation may work depending on Solaris version & patch level
you probably want the latest hme patch from the recommended patchset )
to force the sun to 100Mb/sec FDX permanently
put the following in /etc/system and reboot
(will set all hme interfaces)
-- 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 (check /var/adm/messages after reboot for something like "<hostname> unix: SUNW,hme0: 100 Mbps full-duplex Link Up" if you don't get this type of message - you definitely need to update you patch-level)-- [will set /dev/hme0 - for /dev/hme1 do "ndd -set /dev/hme instance 1" first]
ndd -set /dev/hme adv_autoneg_cap 0 ndd -set /dev/hme adv_100T4_cap 0 ndd -set /dev/hme adv_100fdx_cap 1 ndd -set /dev/hme adv_100hdx_cap 0 ndd -set /dev/hme adv_10fdx_cap 0 (vanishes on reboot) -- Rafi Sadowsky rafi@oumail.openu.ac.il Network Operations Center |VoiceMail: +972-3-646-0592 FAX: +972-3-646-5410 ILAN - IIUCC -I2(Israel) | member ILAN-CERT(CERT@CERT.AC.IL) (Israeli Academic Network) | (PGP key -> ) http://telem.openu.ac.il/~rafi
