ndd command on Netranger 4230 with i386 solaris

[w.kupferschmid]

Hi there !

I`m trying to set the nic speed manually with the ndd command (from a remote-site)

The box runs Solaris 2.6 (Intel) with Netranger 1.5.1 IDS

However, she quits complaining:

operation failed, Invalid argument

Anybody ?

Thanks in advance

Ray.

ndd doesn't run on Soalris x86 but on soalris, no x86 driver can be interfaced via ndd. The only way to set speed/duplex is via the NIC's driver.conf. iprb on Solaris 8 suggests that you can specify speed/duplex for multiple instances via ForceSpeedDuplex option. For other drivers, you'll need to specify each instance per driver.conf. Finally, auto-negotiating works in most cases as expected. Having to hard-code values may indicate cabling or switch problems.
