Re: How to tell ethernet line speed on IBM i?

From the HMC:

I always see
Current line speed . . . . . . . . : *AUTO
instead of the 10G you are seeing.
7.5
ethernet hosted by VIOS
CMB12 268C Operational Comm Processor
LIN04 268C Operational LAN Adapter
CMN03 268C Operational Ethernet Port

Let's say you configured your line description with
CRTLINETH LIND(LANLIN) RSRCNAME(CMN03) ONLINE(*NO) ETHSTD(*ETHV2)
and WRKLIND, 5, shows:
Ethernet standard . . . . . . . . : *ETHV2
Line speed . . . . . . . . . . . . : *AUTO
Current line speed . . . . . . . . : *AUTO
Duplex . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : *AUTO
Current duplex . . . . . . . . . . : *AUTO

How do you tell what it is currently negotiated as?

What is the point of "Current line speed" vs "Line speed"?

New lpar, not in production yet. Open to changes on this.
