Getting ML370 ethernet running at 100 MPS

[John_512]

I have an ML370 G3 with Red Hat 7.3 installed. It has a gigabit ethernet card but when it connects through my hub it only runs at 10 megabits. My network supports up to 100 megeabits and I'd expect it to run at that. I have installed the latest drivers fron the support pack. Any ideas how I can alter the speed. Does it not run at 100?

Used this config before with no issues what's so ever.

I'd be checking cables, and hub/switch port configuration right about now.

Have an ML350, two ML310's, and a DL360 all running at 100MBit at the moment, without any issues.

The ML370 we had left last week.

Hope this helps you.

for bcm5700 driver I use these parameters for force 100 FD

options eth0 line_speed=100 auto_speed=0 full_duplex=1

Don't force FD unless you also can force
FD on the port the machine is connected to.

As the person who asked the question is
connecting to a hub, forcing FD is bad idea...
