Resetting the Board
In the unlikely event that you need to reset the fiber-optic or copper Gigabit Ethernet
board, enter the following:
ifconfig <interface> down
ifconfig <
interface> up
where interface is name of the interface. This is usually a driver name followed by a
unit number, for example, ifconfig eth0 down, for the first Ethernet interface.
For more information on ifconfig, see the ifconfig(8) man page.
Configuration Parameters
Configuration changes for Ethernet devices drivers are made by means of the
ethtool(8) command. The ethtool command works with all Linux Ethernet drivers.
In general, each feature has a query and a modify variant. If you are wondering
whether the current driver and ethtool support a specific feature, attempt to run the
query option first, an example is, as follows:
# ethtool -a eth0
Pause parameters for eth0:
Autonegotiate: on
RX: on
TX: on
