Hello,
I have two xserves running OS X 10.2.6. Both Ethernet cards are active and
only running half duplex.
I have tried using the ifconfig command to change it to full duplex by:
sudo ifconfig en0 mediaopt full-duplex
It seems to work fine, however if I go and look at interface en0 by typing
ifconfig, I see that the change did not take effect.
I also tried to use the GUI Cocktail and this program wont let me change the
interfaces to full-duplex neither. I have also tried to put a script in the
/Library/StartupItem as suggested by the article in the apple site and it
did not work.
Do any of you have the same problem and know what is the best way to set the
Ethernet cards of the xserve on full-duplex?
Thanks in advance.
