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.
Great servers, Great Service, Awesome uptime! Our company has been working with AYKSolutions for almost 3 years, hosting several servers for mission-critical projects. The network downtime has been way lower than 30 minutes for OVER 3 years and.. one of our Linux servers scored 450 days of uptime! Needless to say, their Ticket Support always responds in a matter of minutes. At any time of the d ay! I would rate them 10/5 if I could! Kudos to a great company! :)
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.
AYK provide a very good value product, and always in a professional manner. I have used several hosting companies over the past 17 years. During that time I occasionally needed help with a variety of minor setup issues. Only AYK gave quick and helpful answers. I highly recommend them.
