Forcing Network Speed Between 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps

1.At the ok prompt, use the show-devscommand to list the system devices.

You should see the full path names of the qfe devices, similar to the example below:

/pci@1f,2000/pci@2/SUNW,qfe@0,1

/pci@1f,2000/pci@2/SUNW,qfe@1,1

/pci@1f,2000/pci@2/SUNW,qfe@2,1

/pci@1f,2000/pci@2/SUNW,qfe@3,1

2. Type:

ok nvedit

3.Type the following, pressing the Return key at the end of line 0:

0:probe-all install-console banner

1:apply transfer-speed=10(full path name of a qfe device)

Note –If you already have commands in NRAM, append these lines to the end of the file.

4.Press the Control-C keys after typing (full path name of a qfe device).

You will need to perform Steps 2 to 4 to set the network speed for each qfe channel.

Note –In the above example, the speed is forced to 10 Mbps. To force the speed to 100 Mbps, replace 10 with 100.

5.At the ok prompt type:

ok nvstore

ok setenv use-nvramrc? true

6.Reboot your system.

See Appendix C, “Configuring the Quad FastEthernet Device Driver Parameters,” for more information on forcing network speed.
