Hi there,
Gow would I go about finding interfaces speed on Cisco, 3Com, etc
devices(switches, hubs, routers)a, any programs that do this? How woud I
know if it is full duplex, etc? A show int does not seem to show it.
Also what is the best practice in setting up the devices speed(ethernet and
serial).
Thanks a lot, Calin

easy:
look at the leds
10/100
fdx
to know if your switch/router operate at 10 or 100 Mbits/s and if the link
is full duplex
to set it up, see the speed configuration command

the interface mib in SNMP MIB-2 should give you the speed, where the device
knows what that is, and if you can get at it. On a cisco you can look at the
interface status using the command line.

e.g. on a cisco router, the mib should give the operating speed on a 10/100
ethernet port.

however, a lot of devices dont have a way to figure out the speed of a
serial port since this depends on the device providing clock and isnt
reported to the router - usually that defaults to 1.5 M or 64k, depnding on
code level and so on - the config may need to be manually set to get this
right.

Duplex is harder, but there are interface type specific mibs that hold stuff
like this.

1 other thing - SNMP MIBs are traditionally not thoroughly tested - dont be
surprised if the info SNMP tells you doesnt agree with other sources - often
the SNMP is the wrong bit.
