True, but on some interfaces you might want to leave auto negotiate on 
or have a different setting (depending on the brand of the switch or the 
settings that seem to work best on that subnet. i.e. one interface is on a 
"monitoring network" were we use older dime a dozen 10Mb switches because speed 
and throughput are not needed, just connectivity.)

        Both methods will work depending on what he wants to achieve.

If you put these in the /etc/system file without the ndd - parameters it
will set them on all qfe or hme even if you have a quad ethernet card in the
box.

example

#Settings for qfe1
set /dev/qfe instance 1
set /dev/qfe adv_100fdx_cap 1
set /dev/qfe adv_10fdx_cap 0
set /dev/qfe adv_10hdx_cap 0
set /dev/qfe adv_100hdx_cap 0
set /dev/qfe adv_autoneg_cap 0

        It's a simple set of 'ndd' settings to get it hard-coded to 100
full. Here is an example of both a hme and a qfe card....

#Settings for hme0
ndd -set /dev/hme instance 0
ndd -set /dev/hme adv_100fdx_cap 1
ndd -set /dev/hme adv_10fdx_cap 0
ndd -set /dev/hme adv_10hdx_cap 0
ndd -set /dev/hme adv_100hdx_cap 0
ndd -set /dev/hme adv_autoneg_cap 0

#Settings for qfe1
ndd -set /dev/qfe instance 1
ndd -set /dev/qfe adv_100fdx_cap 1
ndd -set /dev/qfe adv_10fdx_cap 0
ndd -set /dev/qfe adv_10hdx_cap 0
ndd -set /dev/qfe adv_100hdx_cap 0
ndd -set /dev/qfe adv_autoneg_cap 0

        These will be lost upon reboot, so you will want to put it in an rc
script to be run at boot.

Extremely slow backups from a sunOS 5.7 client with lots of collisions.....
does anyone know how to hardcode the interface to 100 Full Duplex? Sparc 20
model.
