Hi you could set the interface from half-duplex to full using ndd. If you do
it from the command prompt it would be only for that particular session I
mean if you reboot it after you have set the card setting to full after the
reboot they would get restored to half again. so you have to update your
/etc/system file also. 

Do this from the command prompt

ndd -set /dev/hme adv_100T4_cap 0
ndd -set /dev/hme adv_100fdx_cap 1   # full duplex for 100mbit
ndd -set /dev/hme adv_100hdx_cap 0   # 100mbit half duplex off
ndd -set /dev/hme adv_10fdx_cap 0    # 10mbit full duplex off
ndd -set /dev/hme adv_10hdx_cap 0    # 10mbit half duplex off


and to make the changes permanent do this in your /etc/system file.. but
backup your system file before you attempt to change anything in that
file...

set hme:hme_adv_autoneg_cap = 0
set hme:hme_adv_100fdx_cap = 1
set hme:hme_adv_100hdx_cap = 0
set hme:hme_adv_10fdx_cap = 0
set hme:hme_adv_10hdx_cap = 0          


hope it helps

Hi Admins,
            I was just wondering whether we can change settings of an
interface from half-duplex to full-duplex,using ifconfig or ndd?. I could'nt
find any options with these commands. Am I missing something?.

The box is E3500 with Sol 2.6.

Your thoughts are most welcome

Thanks,
Balaji
