On RH-based OS (Centos, Fedora), you can use the ethtool command to set the speed of the port. For example, to set the speed on your eth0 NIC to 100mbps, run the following command:
Code:
ethtool -s eth0 speed 100 duplex full autoneg off
You can do the above for half duplex, 10, 1000mbps speed and for different eth settings. Just have to change the appropriate values in the above command.
To make these changes permanently, just add the following line to your /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 (change your eth setting according to which NIC's speed you want to change):
Code:
ETHTOOL_OPTS="speed 100 duplex full autoneg off"
Then issue:
/etc/init.d/network restart
This will reload the network and the new speed will take effect. Depending on how much traffic there is coming through the NIC at that time, it may take up to a minute for this to happen.
Outstanding Customer Service Everytime I have emailed AYKsolutions I have gotten an outstanding response time from the technical support team. Not only that, they are very friendly and very easy to work with. When I initially setup my account I had a small problem and had to delete everything and start over. This was not a problem for AYK and they were able to get me up and running in no time at all
I have been with ayksolutions for around 5 years and have been thoroughly impressed with them. All support tickets are answered within minutes, regardless of the time of day. Prices are very reasonable, especially considering the support and services they provide. They are constantly doing crazy deals for servers as well. If you're looking for someone good and reliable to host with, from shared hosting to dedicated servers, I easily recommend ayksolutions.
I had never heard of AYK Solutions before, but they had an awesome deal I couldn't pass up on WHT. So far the service has been exceptional, and the server is rock solid. I'll be moving my other servers here soon!
