Changing NIC Speed In RH 7.2

[rcasero]

I have been trying to change the NIC speed from HD to FD on two of my servers.

When I execute mii-tool -F 100baseTX-FD eth0

It will work untill I reboot the server, can someone please tell me which file to modify so this setting can stick. Also tried modifing the rc.local and no luck.

Either edit your network init script, or put it in rc.local

[rcasero]

I edited the rc.local and had no luck.

This is the syntax I'm currently using in the rc.local file.

/sbin/mii-tool --force 100baseTx-FD eth0

How would I edit the /sbin/init file ?

I found the mysterious file that forces the NIC to 100 Full Duplex.

Script file resides in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ file name is ifcfg-eth0.

Lines added to the end of ifcfg-eth0 file.
TYPE=Ethernet
mii-tool –F 100baseTx-FD eth0

Note: this works on both RH 7.2 and RH Ent 3.0
