Is there a way to change the NIC speed on a RaQ3, RaQ4 and XTR ? We want the speed to be 100 with full duplex
If you are only seeing 1/2 duplex lights, my guess is that the device you are plugged into is set for 1/2. One problem we've seen is when a switch (like our SMC6912M) and the Cisco Catalyst are both set to auto-negotiate, and it picks it up at 1/2. But if we set our SMC to full, the Cisco say *okay, full*. This is using our RAQ3i.
Auto negotiate is almost always set, and can cause a problem. I'm sure there are ways to change the behavior on the OS side, but if you're seeing it on several machines, it is probably the *other side* that is the problem. Plug in a regular PC, not a RAQ - before the OS even boots up you should see the network card come alive and negotiate a duplex/speed. What does the PC do, bet it goes at 1/2.
