Force the speed and duplex of a Linux ethernet interface

By Quinn McHenry

Using mii-tool, the speed and duplex of an ethernet interface can be set manually.

You must set both the speed and duplex at the same time (it is not possible to auto-negotiate only one). Typical combinations are the following:

100baseTx-FD 100baseTx-HD 10baseT-FD 10baseT-HD

To set 100 Mbps and full duplex on interface eth0, for example, use:

mii-tool -F 100baseTx-FD eth0
