[SunHELP] Configuring Negotiation on dfme interfaces

[Ben Ricker]

I am having trouble getting information about how my dfme ethernet
interfaces are setting up their duplexing. I wrote a script that I
THOUGHT worked (it is printed below) but I cannot get it to work. 

My questions are: how do you use ndd to query what the current settings
are and why doesn't the script reprinted below work?

Here is the script:

#!/sbin/sh
 
# Set dmfe0 to 100 full, no auto-negotiate
 
/usr/sbin/ndd -set /dev/dmfe instance 0
/usr/sbin/ndd -set /dev/dmfe adv_100T4_cap 0
/usr/sbin/ndd -set /dev/dmfe adv_100fdx_cap 1
/usr/sbin/ndd -set /dev/dmfe adv_100hdx_cap 0
/usr/sbin/ndd -set /dev/dmfe adv_10fdx_cap 0
/usr/sbin/ndd -set /dev/dmfe adv_10hdx_cap 0
/usr/sbin/ndd -set /dev/dmfe adv_autoneg_cap 0
 
# Set the dmfe1 to 100 Full, no auto-negotiate
 
/usr/sbin/ndd -set /dev/dmfe instance 1
/usr/sbin/ndd -set /dev/dmfe adv_100T4_cap 0
/usr/sbin/ndd -set /dev/dmfe adv_100fdx_cap 1
/usr/sbin/ndd -set /dev/dmfe adv_100hdx_cap 0
/usr/sbin/ndd -set /dev/dmfe adv_10fdx_cap 0
/usr/sbin/ndd -set /dev/dmfe adv_10hdx_cap 0
/usr/sbin/ndd -set /dev/dmfe adv_autoneg_cap 0
 
# Restart Networking
 
/etc/init.d/network start

Here is the output of that script when run from command line:

bash-2.03# ./S99zhme_set
