The
eth
command allows to view statistics, to enter or to change Ethernet
interface settings.
The command requires to specify interface index –
eth1
stands for the
Ethernet1 interface and
eth2
the Ethernet2 interface. The command
entered with no arguments allows to view current settings of the interfaces:
: eth1
ETH1: Rate=10 Mbit/s Duplex=HALF Auto-Neg FlowCont – ONLINE
:
3.4.1 Rate and duplex type
The modem Ethernet interfaces have Auto-Negotiation and flow control
settings enabled by default.
Transmission rate and duplex type are detected automatically in Auto-
Negotiation mode. The priority of operation mode detection descends from
100Base-TX Full Duplex (the highest priority), 100Base-TX Half Duplex,
10Base-T Full Duplex down to 10Base-TX Half Duplex (the lowest priority).
To disable the Auto-Negotiation mode use the
eth1
or the
eth2
commands with the
/auto
option:
: eth1
ETH1: Rate=100 Mbit/s Duplex=FULL Auto-Neg FlowCont – ONLINE
: eth1 /auto
ETH1: Rate=100 Mbit/s Duplex=FULL FlowCont – ONLINE
:
If Auto-Negotiation mode is off, use either the
eth1
or the
eth2
commands
respectively with the
rate 10
or the
rate 100
options to set the
Ethernet interface rate manually:
