On RH-based OS (Centos, Fedora), you can use the ethtool command to set the speed of the port. For example, to set the speed on your eth0 NIC to 100mbps, run the following command:
Code:
ethtool -s eth0 speed 100 duplex full autoneg off
You can do the above for half duplex, 10, 1000mbps speed and for different eth settings. Just have to change the appropriate values in the above command.
To make these changes permanently, just add the following line to your /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 (change your eth setting according to which NIC's speed you want to change):
Code:
ETHTOOL_OPTS="speed 100 duplex full autoneg off"
Then issue:
/etc/init.d/network restart
This will reload the network and the new speed will take effect. Depending on how much traffic there is coming through the NIC at that time, it may take up to a minute for this to happen.
I recently switched to AYK Solutions from Softlayer for my dedicated server requirements. I received a much better specification server at significantly reduced cost from what Softlayer could offer me, with many of the previously 'extra' features at Softlayer included in the base price offered by AYK. The support was second to none, and they were extremely helpful in transferring all of my old server accounts over for no additional fee whatsoever.
I have been a client for many years now. They always answer to my needs, and keep their prices affordable. I will continue with them in the future.
AYK Solutions offers unmatched top tier support. They have gone above and beyond time and time again. They are very pompt, highly knowlegeable and curtious. I have been using AYK for 4 years now and yup its easy to say they have earned a customer for life. Thank you so much for helping me and business excell. Regards, Johnny
