I'm desperately looking for such a script to check the status. The link from above is down. Thanks, Ed. Does anyone still have this script?

The link from above is down.

Thanks,

While this may not happen every time, it's the expected behavior: http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/473/46.html their advice is, * use autonegotiation whenever it works * if you manually set speed or duplex on either end, then manually set duplex on both ends. forcing full-duplex is in general a bad idea, because if the switch on the other end of the link is set to auto-negotiate, it will autonegotiate half-duplex.

But let's loop it up a little. We had huge problems with solaris's autonegotiation algorithm, so I wrote the following scripts: getduplex.sh and fixduplex.sh Getduplex will loop through each interface defined in ifconfig, and show what the current status is: full or half duplex, 10 or 100 megabit, and will flag any that arn't 100/full. Fixduplex will 'fix' them to be 100/full on the fly. It makes networking pause for about 3 seconds (3 scary seconds) but it comes back. :-) http://cyberbuzz.gatech.edu/jprice/sun-duplex The scripts understands hme, qfe, dfme, and eri interfaces (and only up to 100 mbit. I don't have gig-copper gear to play with). That’s good… But let’s loop it up a little. We had huge problems with solaris’s autonegotiation algorithm, so I wrote the following scripts:
