jumpstart at 100mb full duplex
2007-12-24 23:03:00
In order to force 100MB full duplex on the boot clientI added the
following script in /var/Solaris8/Solaris_8/Tools/Boot/etc/init.d
[jumpstarter:/var/Solaris8/Solaris_8/Tools/Boot/etc/init.d]$ cat
link_settings
ndd -set /dev/dmfe0 adv_10hdx_cap 0
ndd -set /dev/dmfe0 adv_10fdx_cap 0
ndd -set /dev/dmfe0 adv_100hdx_cap 0
ndd -set /dev/dmfe0 adv_100fdx_cap 1
ndd -set /dev/dmfe0 adv_autoneg_cap 0
This file is linked as
/var/Solaris8/Solaris_8/Tools/Boot/etc/rc2.d/S01link_settings ->
../init.d/link_settings
(Note: currently we're only using it for installing v100 servers, if
anyone is curious about the dmfe0 interface)
However, the installation of a flash file takes just as long as
previously when the cards were confugured as 100mb half duplex. Is this
the correct way to configure the interface?
TIA,
