Now are they NIC’s 1 GbE or 10 GbE?

In my previous post we talked about how to figure out if the local drives on the X86 box are SSDs or HDD. Now this machine also has multiple NICs, 1 GbE and two 10 GbE. I plan on using the 1 GbE for management operations, and would like to use the 10 GbE for outbound(client) and ibound (storage/cluster) use.

Using the ethtool we can figure out the speed of the NIC’s

kinetic@paco1:~$ ethtool eth0 Settings for eth0:     Supported ports: [ TP ]     Supported link modes:   10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full                             100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full                             1000baseT/Full     Supported pause frame use: Symmetric     Supports auto-negotiation: Yes     Advertised link modes:  10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full                             100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full                             1000baseT/Full     Advertised pause frame use: No     Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes     Speed: 1000Mb/s     Duplex: Full     Port: Twisted Pair     PHYAD: 1     Transceiver: internal     Auto-negotiation: on     MDI-X: on (auto) Cannot get wake-on-lan settings: Operation not permitted     Current message level: 0x00000007 (7)                    drv probe link     Link detected: yes kinetic@paco1:~$ ethtool p513p2 Settings for p513p2:     Supported ports: [ FIBRE ]     Supported link modes:   10000baseT/Full     Supported pause frame use: No     Supports auto-negotiation: No     Advertised link modes:  10000baseT/Full     Advertised pause frame use: No     Advertised auto-negotiation: No     Speed: 10000Mb/s     Duplex: Full     Port: Direct Attach Copper     PHYAD: 0     Transceiver: external     Auto-negotiation: off Cannot get wake-on-lan settings: Operation not permitted     Current message level: 0x00000007 (7)                    drv probe link     Link detected: yes

Another useful tool is the lspci.

kinetic@paco1:~$ lspci -vv | grep -i ethernet 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation I350 Gigabit Network Connection (rev 01) 02:00.1 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation I350 Gigabit Network Connection (rev 01) 02:00.2 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation I350 Gigabit Network Connection (rev 01) 02:00.3 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation I350 Gigabit Network Connection (rev 01) 04:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82599ES 10-Gigabit SFI/SFP+ Network Connection (rev 01) 04:00.1 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82599ES 10-Gigabit SFI/SFP+ Network Connection (rev 01)

Now lets just redirect all the o/p from lspci and have a look at it.
