Does anyone still have this script? I'm desperately looking for such a script to check the status.
The link from above is down.

Thanks,

Ed.

forcing full-duplex is in general a bad idea, because if the switch on the other end of the link is set to auto-negotiate, it will autonegotiate half-duplex. While this may not happen every time, it's the expected behavior:

their advice is,
* use autonegotiation whenever it works
* if you manually set speed or duplex on either end, then manually set duplex on both ends.

Thanks for those, zapman! fixduplex.sh got a little exercise today, and worked like a champ.

:D

I had opportunity to use your script today and it is slick! Thanks for sharing it with us!

That's good... But let's loop it up a little. We had huge problems with solaris's autonegotiation algorithm, so I wrote the following scripts:

getduplex.sh and fixduplex.sh

Getduplex will loop through each interface defined in ifconfig, and show what the current status is: full or half duplex, 10 or 100 megabit, and will flag any that arn't 100/full.

Fixduplex will 'fix' them to be 100/full on the fly. It makes networking pause for about 3 seconds (3 scary seconds) but it comes back. :-)

The scripts understands hme, qfe, dfme, and eri interfaces (and only up to 100 mbit. I don't have gig-copper gear to play with).
