Original Question:

I have an E450 with a quad ethernet running Solaris 2.6 located at a remote
site. We have it hooked up to a switch that has both 10BaseT and 100BaseTX
ports. Is there a command that will report what speed the interface is running
at (i.e., either ethernet or fast ethernet)?

Summary of the Answer:

# ndd -set /dev/hme instance x

where x is the one you are interested in. (e.g., hme0, hme1, etc)

# ndd /dev/hme link_speed

If response is "0" it means interface is running at 10BaseT
If response is "1" it means interface is running at 100BaseTX

Other Miscellaneous Useful Notes:

# ndd /dev/hme link_status

If response is "0" it means interface is down
If response is "1" it means interface is up

# ndd /dev/hme link_mode

If response is "0" it means interface is running at Half-Duplex mode
If response is "1" it means interface is urunning at Full-Duplex modep
