It may have been. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
A *quick* check for ethtool seems to indicate it wasn't in RH6.1, but I don't have that distro handy.<br />
<br />
But since mii-diag is such a small program (one file), its probably easier and faster to grab it rather than track down<br />
any rpm's for his systems.<br />

Hi All,<br />
<br />
We have a couple of Redhat 7.x servers<br />
<br />
I need to document the NIC duplex settings and speed.<br />
<br />
On kernel 2.4.18-3, I use mii-tool and get the info I want.<br />
<br />
However, some of the servers still run kernel 2.2.19-x and mii-tool doesn't seem to be installed.<br />
<br />
Short from downloading and installing the rpm, what command can I use to determine the duplex / speed of the NIC?<br />
<br />
Regards,<br />
Jo<br />

Determening duplex setting on NIC

The variety of Linux distributions creates myriad issues relating to configuration and operations when computers are networked, not the least of which is the use of various network management applications, some of which are included with specific distributions, while others are standalone applications.
