Admins,
I wondered if my NIC was correctly configured (DS10, 4.0F) at Full-Duplex.
Checking the console variable ewa0_mode it says it's configured FastFD:
[root]/# consvar -g ewa0_mode
ewa0_mode = FastFD (Full Duplex)
But...when running the command ifconfig I get:
[root]/# ifconfig tu0
tu0: flags=c63<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,MULTICAST,SIMPLEX>
inet ###.##.##.### netmask ######## broadcast ###.###.###.### ipmtu
1500
It says...SIMPLEX (meaning the interface cannot hear its own transmissions.)
Is the NIC communicating Full Duplex, or is it only at console-level set to
FD and on OS still running SIMPLEX??
Should I reconfigure tu0 (using ifconfig, I guess?) Or can I check the tu0
mode using another command?
All hints are welcome.
