Gigabit Ethernet on CentOS

o determine the current ethernet connection link speed you can use the following commands:

#dmesg | grep -i duplex
tg3: eth0: Link is up at 100 Mbps, full duplex.
#ethtool eth0
Supported ports: [ TP ]
Supported link modes:   10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full
                        100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full
                        1000baseT/Half 1000baseT/Full
Supports auto-negotiation: Yes
Advertised link modes:  10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full
                        100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full
                        1000baseT/Half 1000baseT/Full
Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes
Speed: 1000Mb/s
Duplex: Full
Port: Twisted Pair
PHYAD: 1
Transceiver: internal
Auto-negotiation: on
Supports Wake-on: g
Wake-on: d
Current message level: 0x000000ff (255)
Link detected: yes

To force the ethernet connection to Gigabit ethernet, edit your network settings:

#vim /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

Add the following lines:

ETHTOOL_OPTS="autoneg on speed 1000 duplex full"

Restart the network:

#service network restart

Once set run the following commands again to ensure that it worked:

#dmesg | grep -i duplex
tg3: eth0: Link is up at 1000 Mbps, full duplex.
#ethtool eth0
Supported ports: [ TP ]
Supported link modes:   10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full
                        100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full
                        1000baseT/Half 1000baseT/Full
Supports auto-negotiation: Yes
Advertised link modes:  1000baseT/Full
Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes
Speed: 1000Mb/s
Duplex: Full
Port: Twisted Pair
PHYAD: 1
Transceiver: internal
Auto-negotiation: on
Supports Wake-on: g
Wake-on: d
Current message level: 0x000000ff (255)

To determine what sort of ethernet card (NIC) is in your server:

#lspci|grep Eth
01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5722 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express

To get statistics on your ethernet card (NIC):

#ethtool -S eth0
