    Check Speed / Duplex on Solaris 10

    In the past, I always had to use the ndd – get command to figure out what my link speed and duplex settings were. In Solaris 10, Sun now gives us the handy dladm command, which makes it a whole lot easier.


    # dladm show-dev
    e1000g2 link: up speed: 1000 Mbps duplex: full
    e1000g3 link: up speed: 1000 Mbps duplex: full
    e1000g0 link: up speed: 1000 Mbps duplex: full
    e1000g1 link: up speed: 1000 Mbps duplex: full

      Thank you for this command.

      Can be used to get stats (with -s -i option).

      Need to be launched from domain in case of partitionned server (?).

      This command does not work in Solaris 11.

      Instead use
      dladm showphys

      # dladm show-phys
      LINK MEDIA STATE SPEED DUPLEX DEVICE
      e1000g0 Ethernet up 1000 full e1000g0
      e1000g1 Ethernet up 1000 full e1000g1
