Link speed configuration on RHEL 5

How can I set eth0 to Full-1000 or Auto 1000 on a DL385G5 with RHEL 5.1. permanently.

Re: Link speed configuration on RHEL 5

You can use ethtool. See ETHTOOL_OPTS in the interface configuration file:

Por que hacerlo dificil si es posible hacerlo facil? - Why do it the hard way, when you can do it the easy way?

Gigabit Ethernet should always be auto anyway, and IIRC that is the default. If the interface is coming-up as something else it suggests the other end of the link is misconfigured to a hardcoded setting.
