Forcing Network Speed Between 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps

1. At the ok prompt, use the show-devs command to list the system devices.

   You should see the full path names of the qfe devices, similar to the example below:

   ---

   /sbus@1f,0/SUNW,qfe@1,8c30000
   /sbus@1f,0/SUNW,qfe@1,8c20000
   /sbus@1f,0/SUNW,qfe@1,8c10000
   /sbus@1f,0/SUNW,qfe@1,8c00000

   ---

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 a nvramrc script, append these lines to it.

   ---

4. Press the Control-C keys after typing (full path name of a qfe device).

   ---

   Note -

   In the above two steps, the speed is forced to 10 Mbps. To force the speed to 100 Mbps, replace 10 with 100.

   ---

   You will need to perform Steps 2 to 4 to set the network speed for each qfe channel.

5. At the ok prompt type:

   ---

   ok nvstore
   ok setenv use-nvramrc? true
   

   ---

6. Reboot your system.

See Appendix C, Configuring the Quad FastEthernet Device Driver Parameters" for more information on forcing network speed.
