AIX: NIC speed

Check with

lsdev -l "ent*"

which adapters you have, then run the command against the ones which show "Available".

Please note that you can't run the command against the base adapters of a link aggregation. Run it against the aggreagte adapter.

If "ent1" and "ent2" are "Available" adapters but don't show a media speed (as it seems) then these are probably intrapartition logical lan adapters (l-lan) instead of physical adapters.
The speed of these adapters depends on the speed of the shared ethernet adapter (SEA) in your VIO server which speed in turn depends on the speed of its underlying hardware (the speed of the physical adapters connected to the SEA).

I gather this means I have 2 10GB NIC's and 2 1G NIC's

?

Why do you think so?

What are the results of "entstat" against your adapters?
If they're "l-lan" (check with lsdev -l "ent*") you must log in to your VIOS as "padmin" and check there:

Run "lsdev -type adapter" and look for "Shared Ethernet Adapter".

Then run

oem_setup_env
entstat -d entX | grep -i media

where entX is (one of) your SEA adapter(s).

Issue "exit" when finished to return to IOSCLI.

I am sorry, I forgot to post the results I saw:

# lsdev -l "ent*"
ent0 Available 01-00 PCIe2 4-Port Adapter (10GbE SFP+) (e4148a1614109304)
ent1 Available 01-01 PCIe2 4-Port Adapter (10GbE SFP+) (e4148a1614109304)
ent2 Available 01-02 PCIe2 4-Port Adapter (1GbE RJ45) (e4148a1614109404)
ent3 Available 01-03 PCIe2 4-Port Adapter (1GbE RJ45) (e4148a1614109404)

I also get

# entstat ent0 | grep -i media
#
# entstat ent1 | grep -i media

I am not sure about the following command

# lsdev -type adapter
lsdev: 0514-500 Usage error - adapter

Usage:
lsdev [-C] [-c Class][-s Subclass][-t Type][-S State][-l Name]
        [-p ParentName][-r ColumnName| -F Format][-H][-f File ][-x]
lsdev -P [-c Class][-s Subclass][-t Type][-r ColumnName| -F Format]
        [-H][-f File ]
lsdev  -h

# lsdev -type ent0
lsdev: 0514-500 Usage error - ent0
