I assume you mean the fge0 or fge1 GBit ports on the NS Platform

Just do a "$ server_sysconfig server_2 -pci"

output should include something like this:

Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet Controller
0: fge0 IRQ: 24
linkneg=enable txflowctl=disable rxflowctl=disable
0: fge1 IRQ: 23
linkneg=enable txflowctl=disable rxflowctl=disable

Thanks!
yup that's what I meant, typo
I know about the server_sysconfig command but I guess I was looking for
more details/ like if the speed is set to auto negotiate/duplex settings

Hi,

The Fiber (Optical) Gig-E ports are 1000Base-SX ports with small form-factor pluggable (SFP) modules - so there is no option to change the speed or duplex settings - they are always 1000/Full.

Thus the server_sysconfig command does not show the speed and duplex for fge ports -- but shows those details for other (cge) ports.

Lastly - request you to kindly mark the appropriate answers as "Correct" and/or "Helpful" in order to facilitate finding right answer for any future searches.

Thanks,
Sandip
