Hello

There is any way to change the Advertised link modes?
I what to configure eth1 to be autoneg=on but only for 100Full or 1000Full only. there is away to do that?
(in the eth1 the "Advertised link modes" has also 10Full\Half 100Full\Half 1000Full).

running - redhat 5.1

Note : in solaris u can disable 10Half & 100Half. there is a way to do it in redhat?

thanks

sure, check out ethtool, e.g "ethtool eth0 -s duplex full" will force a card to full duplex.

so if I want that eth0 will be force to talk only FullDuplex & 100 or 1000 speed
then I need to put those lines in the /etc/rc.local:
ethtool -s eth0 duplex full speed 100 autoneg on
ethtool -s eth0 duplex full speed 1000 autoneg on

?
it will desbale the option for half duplex and 10 speed?
