How to change the setting for a network device reported by ethtool, specifically Speed, on VM?
- by Ramadheer Singh
This is related to these two questions, although they don't answer my question.
The machines are RHEL6.
1.ethtool not showing all the properties
2.changing network speed to 1000Mb/s
Output on VM:
[root@foo ~]# ethtool eth0 Settings for eth0:
Current message level: 0x00000007 (7)
Link detected: yes
Output on Real Hardware: (interested in Speed)
# ethtool eth0
Settings for eth0:
