Folks, I am trying to set the speed and duplex settings of my ESX 3.5.
However, after I changed the speed using ethtool, the network link goes down and now I am not able to bring it back.
I tried the running the following commands
ethtool -s vmnic0 speed 1000 duplex full
How do i change the speed duplex setting for the Service Console of ESX 3.5?
Thanks
Hello,
ethtool is provided however it really should not be used. You should instead use esxcfg-nics.
esxcfg-nics -s 1000 -d full vmnic0
