+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Solaris NIC speed and duplex settings The following is a Bourne shell script I wrote settings for all active network interfaces on am Favorite for fixing the script to work with g. ge0), and to Royce Williams for providing a ormation. Download the script. Example output: Interface --------hme0 hme1 hme2 Speed ----100 Mbit/s 100 Mbit/s 100 Mbit/s Duplex -----full full full

Setting NIC speed and duplex Solaris is often unable to correctly auto-negotiate duplex settings with a link partner (e.g. switch), especially when the switch is set to 100Mbit full-duplex. You can force the NIC into 100Mbit full-duplex by disabling auto-negotiation an d 100Mbit half-duplex capability. Example with hme0: 1. Make the changes # ndd -set /dev/hme # ndd -set /dev/hme # ndd -set /dev/hme to the running system. adv_100hdx_cap 0 adv_100fdx_cap 1 adv_autoneg_cap 0

2. Make kernel parameter changes to preserve the speed and duplex settings after a reboot. # vi /etc/system Add: # set hme:hme_adv_autoneg_cap=0 # set hme:hme_adv_100hdx_cap=0 # set hme:hme_adv_100fdx_cap=1 Note: the /etc/system change affects all hme interfaces if multiple NICs are pre sent (e.g. hme0, hme1). More information: http://www.science.uva.nl/pub/solaris/solaris2/Q4.13.html The /etc/system settings listed above are not supported for configuring ce Ether net adapters during system startup; you may either use ndd commands in an /etc/r c?.d script or create a /platform/sun4u/kernel/drv/ce.conf file with appropriate settings. Example: /etc/init.d/nddconfig #!/bin/sh ndd ndd ndd ndd ndd ndd ndd ndd -set -set -set -set -set -set -set -set /dev/ce /dev/ce /dev/ce /dev/ce /dev/ce /dev/ce /dev/ce /dev/ce instance 0 adv_1000fdx_cap 0 adv_1000hdx_cap 0 adv_100fdx_cap 1 adv_100hdx_cap 0 adv_10fdx_cap 0 adv_10hdx_cap 0 adv_autoneg_cap 0

All other interfaces may use ndd to determine NIC settings. ndd example with hme0, assuming "instance" is 0: # ndd -get /dev/hme link_mode Interpretation: 0 -- half-duplex 1 -- full-duplex # ndd -get /dev/hme link_speed Interpretation: 0 -- 10 Mbit 1 -- 100 Mbit 1000 -- 1 Gbit To query a different NIC, such as hme1, set the "instance" to 1, and then perfor m the link_mode and link_speed queries above. # ndd -set /dev/hme instance 1

Note: the ndd commands above must be run as root. Otherwise, you will receive er rors such as "couldn't push module 'hme0', No such device or address." ce Ethernet adapters Older versions of the Sun GigaSwift Ethernet 1.0 driver do not support the ndd l ink_mode and link_speed parameters. You may either install the latest Sun GigaSw ift Ethernet adapter patch (111883) or you may use kstat ce ce_device to get spe ed and duplex information for ce Ethernet adapters. For example (from http://www.samag.com/documents/s=9142/sam0405l/0405l.htm): $ kstat -p| grep -i ce | egrep 'link_speed|link_up|link_duplex' Interpretation: link_up - 0 down, 1 up link_speed - speed in Mbit/s link_duplex - 1 half duplex, 2 full duplex, 0 down Host/link partner mismatch example A large number of output errors or collisions may indicate a host and link partn er mismatch.
