negotiation. With auto negotiation, both the speed and duplex are configured based upon what the link is connected to. It is also possible to configure the duplex and specify auto_speed so that only the speed is auto negotiated. Similarly for auto_duplex.
<interface> The name of the Ethernet interface. This is eth0. Auto Specifies that both the speed and duplex are auto negotiated.
10Specifies that the speed is set to 10M bits per second.
100Specifies that the speed is set to 100M bits per second. auto_speed Specifies that the speed is auto negotiated. Half Specifies half duplex
Full Specifies full duplex
auto_duplex Specifies that the duplex is auto negotiated. Examples:
[root @ ethernet]$ elink eth0
Sets the Ethernet to a speed of 10Mbps half duplex. [root @ ethernet]$ elink eth0
The speed will be auto negotiated and the link will use full duplex.
1.13.2 setemac
setemac <mac address>
Sets the Ethernet addresses for the eth0 port. The Ethernet MAC address is specified in standard
In order for the MAC changes to take effect, the configuration must be saved (using ‘save’ command in the home directory) and the system rebooted.
<mac address> The MAC address in colon separated notation. Two hex digits must be supplied between the colons. Twelve hex digits comprise a MAC address. (i.e. “aa:bb:cc:01:22:05”). Examples:
[root @ ethernet]$ setemac 11:22:33:44:55:66
[root @ ethernet]$home [root @ home]$save
The above will assign 11:22:33:44:55:66 to eth0. This will take effect after the system is rebooted.
