NIC nailed to 10m

[kouchpotato]

Hi all,

I am trying to nail a UltraAx-i2 box to 10m h/duplex. I have managed to do this but I would like to clarify something.
Is the order in which I set the network variables important? I have tried setting these with autoneg set 1st which seems to ignore the rest of the settings and when autoneg set last it has the desired effect!

Any ideas if setting these in a paticular order matters?

Thanks

K

no, the order is afaik not important, BUT Sun says, you have to set all variables to a value

Create an input on the file /etc/system so that when your system is rebooted it will run the NIC in 100Full Duplex or you can customize the entry below to your liking.

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
set hme:hme_adv_autoneg_cap=0

Why would you want to change the setting from 100mb to 10mb?

I think I agree with Ponetguy.
Looks like set hme:hme_adv_autoneg_cap=0 last turns off autoneg.

Thanks for the response!
