# ndd -set /dev/hme instance 0

now you can check the states of hme0
ndd -get ...

# ndd -set /dev/hme instance 1

and now hme1...

What needs to be type to check the link speed after ndd -set /dev/hme instance 0

I type ndd -get but not sure what to use after that...

Thanks!

 

[telcomwork]

I tried hem0

 

[comtec17]

ndd -get /dev/<NIC> this could be hme, ge, etc..

What type of NICs are you using?

 

[telcomwork]

Sorry mistype I did use the coorect name hme0. It states "couldn't push module hme0 no such device or address

 

[comtec17]

Example;

ndd -get /dev/hme0

You can't use the instance number. The correct command is:
ndd -get /dev/hme <variable>

 

[telcomwork]

I'm using hme

I type ndd -get /dev/hme instance 0

and get

0
operation failed, Invalid Argument

 

[telcomwork]

I tried ndd -get /dev/hme link_speed and get

0

 

[telcomwork]

Is there a command to set the NIC to auto negotiate?

 

[telcomwork]

I see 0 is 10Mb...

Is there a command to auto negotiate to set the NIC or set to 100?

Thanks all!

 

[bfitzmai]

You can use the command:
ndd /dev/hme \? to see all the variables you can get and set.
