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,” for more information on forcing network speed.
