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)

This port has link

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)

This doesn't

Is there any type of command such as snoop for Solaris or tcpdump for linux where I can see raw network traffic?

pktt

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.

ifconfig e2a mediatype 100tx-fd

You would want to have the cisco side set to the same
