[HECnet] How do I get a DS10's onboard NIC into 100 mbps mode?

[Mark Wickens]

Yes,

I can confirm this - I recently install a DA500 network card in an AlphaServer 300 and I had to explicitly set fastfd mode on the network card device at the SRM console to get it to work at full speed once booted into VMS.

Use "set ewb0_mode fast" or "set ewb0_mode auto" SRM command.

I thought they support 100 mbps as well? How do I turn that on? It's currently connected to a Gbps switch.
