How to configure NIC speed and duplex ethernet settings

To configure NIC speed and duplex settings on Sinefa Hardware Probes, follow these steps.

1. Log into the Sinefa Probe control panel using VGA/keyboard, SSH or serial console with the username admin - has to be all lowercase
2. Access the CLI by navigating to the System menu and select CLI.
3. At the CLI prompt, enter the following commands:

interface.<name>.phys set duplex <half|full>
interface.<name>.phys set speed <10G|2.5G|1G|100M|10M>
interface.<name>.phys set autoneg off

Replace <name> with the name of the interface. E.g. lan1

The following example shows how to configure the wan1 interface to 100M, full duplex.

interface.wan1.phys set duplex full
interface.wan1.phys set speed 100M
interface.wan1.phys set autoneg off

After making these changes, use the "show" command to verify the settings.

interface.wan1.phys show

Once you're happy with all the changes, type the following to save the changes and ensure they survive a reboot:

Handy Tip: Reboot the probe after you have saved config changes, log back into the probe and use the show command to the corresponding NIC as per above to ensure all config has been saved correctly.
