Just for comparison this is a server that is set to auto negotiate
[root at sch-mwg-01 access.log]# mii-tool eth0
eth0: negotiated 100baseTx-FD, link ok
[root at sch-mwg-01 access.log]# ethtool eth0
Settings for eth0:
Supported ports: [ TP ]
Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full
100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full
1000baseT/Full
Supported pause frame use: Symmetric
Supports auto-negotiation: Yes
Advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full
100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full
1000baseT/Full
Advertised pause frame use: Symmetric
Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes
Speed: 1000Mb/s
Duplex: Full
Port: Twisted Pair
PHYAD: 1
Transceiver: internal
Auto-negotiation: on
MDI-X: off
Supports Wake-on: pumbg
Wake-on: g
Current message level: 0x00000007 (7)
drv probe link
Link detected: yes
Note that mii-tool is reporting incorrectly. That server is currently
processing ~500Mbit/s.
Of the tools listed above, the only one I still extensively use is
netstat as ss, its replacement, is IMO not very nice.
