ndd help

Hi Guys,
I need help with ndd.
I was going through network FAQ but i have more questions then answers regarding ndd.
#ndd -set /dev/hme instance 0
#ndd -set /dev/hme adv_100fdx_cap 1
#ndd -set /dev/hme adv_100hdx_cap 0
#ndd -set /dev/hme adv_10fdx_cap 0
#ndd -set /dev/hme adv_10hdx_cap 0
#ndd -set /dev/hme adv_autoneg_cap 0

Wanted to know what 0 and 1 mean and what adv_100fdx_cap, adv_100hdx_cap,adv_10fdx_cap,adv_10hdx_cap,adv_autoneg_cap mean.

Basically i want to change my server interface form half to full duplex and also speed.

Please help!

ok I'll break this down into smaller bit.
instance 0 This defines the instance(NIC/port)
adv means advertise
cap means capability
10 and 100 fdx and hdx you already know
autoneg is autonegotiation.
1 means enabled and 0 disabled.
so what you are doing is setting the interface to advertise only 100fdx capability and won't autonegotiate a slower setting.

Thanks a lot dude.
I understand it better now. :slight_smile:
