Hello managers,

Simple problem, I need to set the speed and duplex on a V210 running Solaris
10.

After reading various pages on the Internet it seems that I needed to
run the following commands as root:

ndd -set /dev/bge0 adv_autoneg_cap 0
ndd -set /dev/bge0 adv_100fdx_cap 1
ndd -set /dev/bge0 adv_100hdx_cap 0
ndd -set /dev/bge0 adv_10fdx_cap 0
ndd -set /dev/bge0 adv_10hdx_cap 0

Once completed I've looked at the status of bge0 by running ifconfig
-a as root and it shows bge0 as UP but not RUNNING (compared to bge1
which is still in autoneg mode).

I'm unable to ping devices on the LAN that bge0 is part of.

Can't check at the switch at the moment due to remit but I'm led to
believe its hard coded to 100/full.

I found this message in /var/adm/messages after making the change:

hostname bge: [ID 801725 kern.info] NOTICE: bge0: link down
(advertised capabilities changed)

Once I reverse the changes all is fine and working again... but the
port isnt hard coded like it should be.

Does the machine or port require a reboot/bounce to get it working?

Thanks for your time.

Willay
