By default the e1000g network interface is set to auto-negotiation enabled, 1Gbps full-duplex.
# ndd -set /dev/e1000g<instance> adv_autoneg_cap 0
# ndd -set /dev/e1000g<instance> force_speed_duplex <value>
| Value | Setting Result |
| 1 | 10Mb/s, half-duplex |
| 2 | 10Mb/s, full-duplex |
| 3 | 100Mb/s, half-duplex |
| 4 | 100Mb/s, full-duplex |
I found this while reading the hardware platform guide for T5120. “force_speed_duplex” is not available for other types of network interfaces.
