If you wished to change the 'duplex' from half to full, here is an example.

# lanadmin -X 100FD lan0
or
# lanadmin -X 100FD 0

The options you used do not exist for 'n' 'i' or 'd'

The best way is to use 'sam', as it will update the appropriate configuration file for you hardware /etc/rc.config.d

When was the last time you applied any network patches?

What is your router set to?

What kind of lan card is this?

Hi mw,

You need to determine WHICH lanX corresponds to WHICH nmid.

Do do a netstat -in & determine which lanX you wish to change. Then just go into the lanadmin menu -> lan -> display
This almost always gives the lowest nmid. IF the display does NOT show the proper lanX then do nmid & select the next highest nmid number & repeat until you find the nmid that matches lanX

THEN use that nmid # in the lanadmin -x command.

BTW - THIS IS MUCH EASIER IN 11.0 - you really should cold install 11.0 for this and MANY other reasons.

HTH,
Jeff

check for the LAN cumulative and ARPA patches on the system.

PHNE_14634 old patch
PHNE_21904 latest

Thanks

Hi,

Just to be clear, are you using "lanadmin -x 4"?

"Error: This option is not supported for this hardware." is what you should see if running lanadmin -x (or -X) on a NMID for a card that is only 10Mb.

According to your lanadmin screen print, nmid 4 is a 10/100 card so "lanadmin -x 4" should work.

I'm presuming you are working with your lan3 (nmid 4) card. If not, Jeff has said how to use interactive lanadmin to change nmid. Note the option is probably called ppa (it is on my systems) instead of nmid. For some reason, nmid and ppa are sometimes used interchangable.

use lanadmin, netstat -rn etc to get nmid of lan0, lan1 etc. Example below assumes nmid of 4

lanadmin -X 100FD 4
lanadmin -X 100HD 4

If this does not work you will need to install the Network Patch for Lanadmin which supports this command. (See link below for potential Patch)

Double check with your Network Guy that the Port your Ethernet Cable is plugged into is FD - It should be that the Switch is Auto Sensing, if not he/she will need to set the port speed.
