[CentOS] Could not setup Speed and Duplex on CentOS 5.5
Greetings,
I recently installed CentOS 5 on Dell PE 1750 server. I have noticed that
the speed and duplex settings are 100 Half Duplex. I tried to change the
duplex settings to full, but no success. I got the error message "Cannot
get
current device settings: Operation not supported". Does anyone else
experience this issue?. Below is the error message and some more details
about my box. Any help will be highly appreciated.
[root at xentwo ~]# ethtool -s eth0 speed 100 duplex full autoneg on

[root at xentwo ~]# ethtool -s eth0 speed 100 duplex full autoneg off

The other question is what the switch you're connecting to is set to. mark
Sikkandar, typically, we do this & put this text ETHTOOL_OPTS="speed 100 duplex full autoneg off" in this file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 and any others files there as necessary reboot unit or whatever is best for your admin situation... you may have other issues that we cannot discern from your email - rh -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
