I'm trying to bring up a new interface on a pci nic card inside my F740. Without being at the netapp is there any way to see if the nic card is seeing a good link status. Here's what I have:
na4m-be> ifconfig -a e0: flags=200043<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING> mtu 1500 inet 10.209.68.211 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.209.68.255 ether 00:a0:98:00:52:76 (100tx-fd-up) e2a: flags=200043<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING> mtu 1500 inet 10.221.88.41 netmask 0xfffffff0 broadcast 10.221.88.47 ether 00:20:fc:1e:20:cc (auto-100tx-up) e2b: flags=42<BROADCAST,RUNNING> mtu 1500 ether 00:20:fc:1e:20:cd (auto-unknown-cfg_down) e2c: flags=42<BROADCAST,RUNNING> mtu 1500 ether 00:20:fc:1e:20:ce (auto-unknown-cfg_down) e2d: flags=42<BROADCAST,RUNNING> mtu 1500 ether 00:20:fc:1e:20:cf (auto-unknown-cfg_down) e3a: flags=42<BROADCAST,RUNNING> mtu 1500 inet 10.221.88.41 netmask 0xfffffff0 broadcast 10.221.88.47 ether 00:c0:95:e0:f4:00 (auto--down) e3b: flags=42<BROADCAST,RUNNING> mtu 1500 ether 00:c0:95:e0:f4:01 (auto--down) e3c: flags=42<BROADCAST,RUNNING> mtu 1500 ether 00:c0:95:e0:f4:02 (auto--down) e3d: flags=42<BROADCAST,RUNNING> mtu 1500 ether 00:c0:95:e0:f4:03 (auto--down) lo: flags=200049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING> mtu 1536 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 broadcast 127.0.0.1
I was at the data center the other day and when I plugged the cat5 in the link light lit up so I'm assuming that is all set. I believe I plugged it into the quad card in slot two, and I no for sure I plugged it into the port labeled "1". I cannot howerver seem to ping other servers on this network, whithin the same subnet. Is there any type of command such as snoop for Solaris or tcpdump for linux where I can see raw network traffic?
My other question is how can I force this link to 100FDX. It's cisco gear on the other side and I know that cisco stuff generally has trouble auto-negotiating.
Thanks Dan
