Problem:
The Interface / Media Speed is incorrectly set on an AIX platform. How can this be changed via Command Line options?
Solution:
To change the media speed of a network interface in IBM AIX:
# chdev -l 'ent0' -a media_speed='100_Full_Duplex' '-P'
Valid Options for media_speed are shown below:
- 10_Half_Duplex
- 10_Full_Duplex
- 100_Half_Duplex
- 100_Full_Duplex
- Auto_Negotiation
Note: The "-P" flag makes this a permament change.
Example:
chdev -l 'ent0' -a media_speed='100_Full_Duplex' '-P'
