How do I verify Network Adapter i/o rate

[hugonovo]

Hello all.

Is there any way to see how the network adapter is configured, without looking at the switch?
(10 or 100 or 1000; FD or HD)

You can do this an ugly way by disconnecting the network cable and plugging it back in and running "dmesg". Message should indicate that link was lost then indicate link speed and mode.

If you want to check ce0 you do:

ndd -set /dev/ce instance 0
ndd -get /dev/ce link_status
# 1 means UP
ndd -get /dev/ce link_mode
# 0 = HD, 1 = FD
ndd -get /dev/ce link_speed
# 0 = 10, 1 = 100, 1000 = 1000

I don't think that the options link_speed, link_status and link_mode exists in solaris9 ce driver.

I have the options:
bash-2.05# ndd /dev/ce adv_1000fdx_cap
1
bash-2.05# ndd /dev/ce adv_1000hdx_cap
1
bash-2.05# ndd /dev/ce master_cfg_value
0
bash-2.05# ndd /dev/ce master_cfg_enable
0
bash-2.05# ndd /dev/ce adv_autoneg_cap
1
bash-2.05# ndd /dev/ce adv_100fdx_cap
1


So, to force 1000 FDX, Do I need to disable autonegociation, 1000 HDX and 100 FDX capabilities?
