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.
I recently switched to AYK Solutions from Softlayer for my dedicated server requirements. I received a much better specification server at significantly reduced cost from what Softlayer could offer me, with many of the previously 'extra' features at Softlayer included in the base price offered by AYK. The support was second to none, and they were extremely helpful in transferring all of my old server accounts over for no additional fee whatsoever.
I have had my hosting with AYK since 2006, and it has by far been the best experience I have ever had with any hosting company. The support is always spot on and available around the clock, excellent for me since I'm always working on things at odd hours. They make upgrading to fit needs very clean and easy, the cost is excellent for services received, and they have me as a customer for life.
good service/support We have been with AYK for years. Good pricing/support. No complaints.
