Changing of operation mode of on-board network
interface (e1000g) on SPARC Enterprise
T2000/T5120/T5220 server
This section explains the steps that are required when changing mode of operation of e1000g, the on-board
network interface on SPARC Enterprise T2000/T5120/T51220 server. The default operation mode of
e1000g is auto-negotiation enabled, 1Gbps, and full-duplex. Normally you need not change the operation
mode of e1000g, since the operation mode is set automatically with the link partner (e.g. switching HUB)
that sets the auto-negotiation enable function. If you need to change the operation mode of e1000g by the
ndd (1M) command, refer to the following.
Please note that the procedure of disabling auto-negotiation and mode of operation of e1000g driver by
ndd(1M) is incompatible with other drivers.
Set up procedure is as follows:
# ndd -set /dev/e1000g<instance-number> adv_autoneg_cap 0
# ndd -set /dev/e1000g<instance-number> force_speed_duplex value
<Return>
Specify the following values to set the mode of operation.
value
1
2
3
4
For more information, refer to the man page of e1000g(7D).
Example:
Set auto-negotiation, 100Mbps, and half-duplex on e1000g0.
Disable auto-negotiation of e1000g0
# ndd -set /dev/e1000g0 adv_autoneg_cap 0 <Return>
Set operation mode of e1000g0 interface to 100Mbps, half-duplex.
# ndd -set /dev/e1000g0 force_speed_duplex 3 <Return>
Notes
If you change the mode of operation by ndd(1M) command, change the mode of operation of the link
partner to operate them with the same mode.
